Las Estrellas Del Comborican
Nuestra Cosa Nuyorican - Live At The Nuyorican Cafe 5 CD & DVD Set
DVD
(Nuyorican NRC5),
Released 2007;
Editor's Pick:
Big time old-school fun as Las Estrellas Del Comborican churn through salsa classics, many from the Fania songbook, for their live performance at the Nuyorican Café in Old San Juan, PR. Singers Hermán Olivera, Wilfredo Otero and Luisito Ojeda take their sweet time on these extended, gritty, trombone-charged, loose jams. The band is obviously having a lot of fun, had a few drinks and, despite the occasional out of tune vocal notes (you get the real feel of a live performance, warts and all) the dancing audience of this small club ate it up. It's the sort of session we took for granted in New York fifteen years ago: "A las Seis," "En Mi Viejo San Juan," "I Like it Like That," "Pa' Huele," and an almost sixteen minute "Quitate Tú" are some of the gems you'll hear and/or see on this CD/DVD set. It's an informal homage to some of the best salsa ever composed.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-09-11)
