Editor's Pick:
Las Estrellas de Envidia, Cubanos, pay a steamy tribute to the Fania All Stars like you would not believe. The fresh, near-timba, intensity of this salsa session is almost out of control — and it makes this particular homage to Fania the best I have heard, hands down. Features a huge cast of Envidia personnel... here are just the singers: Lázaro Moré, Nelson Manuel, Tiro Duarte, Armando Cantero "Mandy", Jesús "El Zun Zún" De La Salsa, Michel Perez, Jorge Rodriguez "El Gafas", Michel Calvo, José Miguel Meléndez, Javier Rodríguez "Chocolate".
Incuded are pristine interpretations of "Quítate La Máscara", "El Ratón", "Puerto Rico/Adoración", "Juan Pachanga" and other familiar hits — but done with such drive and gusto it's almost like hearing them for the first time. And it's because of this that we're, once again, made conscious of and — ultimately awed — by the strength and craft-work of the original composers: Tite Curet, Cheo Feliciano, Rubén Blades, Johnny Pacheco, Tito Rodriguez, Eddie Palmieri, etcetera. This one is certainly on my short list for Best-Of 2007 consideration. A must-have: big DJ-Alert.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-06-12)
