This late '80s concert from New York's Central Park brought together all, or most, of La Sonora Matancera's great singers: Welfo, Alberto Pérez, Vicentico Valdez, Carlos Argentino, Alberto Beltran, Nelson Pinedo, Jorge Maldonado, Roberto Torres, Leo Marini, Bobby Capó, Daniel Santos, and Celia Cruz. But the highlight for me was the performance of "Besito De Coco" by the lanky and debonaire Celio Gonzalez. This guy, who must have been in his mid '60s at the time, simply rocked.
Originally released on VHS, the conversion to DVD does expose some quality issues like color fringing and softness -- like a televised broadcast transferred to video. But the performances are fun and the camera, panning the audience and the park, makes an interesting visual snapshot of the time.
90 minutes, multizone DVD-5, NTSC.
Also comes with an audio CD that has twelve tracks that aren't included on the DVD.
Recommended. (BP, 2008-04-29)
