Chino Rodriguez Y La Consagracion
Si Te Vas Mi China
CD
(Salsa International 717),
Released 1977;
Re-Issued 2006
Editor's Pick:
Oh boy, I like this stuff. New York in the salsa '70s, what a time. La Consagracion, a local New York band playing salsa dura, didn’t record this for Fania, but it could have. Check out the guests: arrangements by Marty Sheller, playing and singing by Larry Harlow, Adalberto Santiago, Ismael Quintana and Harry Viggiano all show up. Recorded in 1977, the album has its wonderfully dated moments — one bit of pop, some rock guitar that owes just a bit to Carlos Santana. But I go for the singer Victor Rodriguez, another great singer from the era, flashing a high tenor voice dripping with sadness and tears, ideal for fans of the greatest Fania singers. Good horn section, good percussion, and a total New York sensibility.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2006-11-14)
