Doctor Salsa - Chino Nuñez, Vol. 2
CD
(Infamous 78052),
Released 2007;
Editor's Pick:
You want the salsa? Can you handle the salsa? Here is the salsa! After his power-punch It's SHO Time ('05), we wondered if Chino Nuñez could possibly return with a project of equal propulsion. Well folks, the Doctor is in the house, and he's got the cure. If this one doesn't get them dancing, there just ain't no pulse. With singers Hector Papote Jimenez (who's currently featured on the acclaimed Zon Del Barrio cd), Ray Viera, Carlos Rosario, Rey Sepulveda, Tony Perez, Jose Papo Rivera and Yoko Mimata, Doctor Salsa seems always on the verge of eruption. And Nuñez' timbales, of course, do not escape unscathed. Listen to him make them scream for mercy on the commanding opening track "Te Invita." This boy can play: pure salsa sparks. And listen to Jose Papo Rivera's handling of Julio Cueva's steamroller "Permiteme Soñar" — a treasure that leads into "Aveces," a composition by Héctor Luis Pagán. This album highlight features Spanish Harlem Orchestra veterans Raul Agraz and Peter Nater, helping to make it the salsa monster it is. Other participating musicians are trumpeter Richie Viruet, bone player Luis Bonilla, pianist Edwin Sanchez, conguero Willie Romero and first-class coroistas Frankie Vasquez, Eddie Rosado, Willie Ruiz, and Chuito De Jesus.
Complaints? The 40-1/2 minutes of Doctor Salsa goes by way too fast.
A big DJ Alert. Zero filler. A salsa lovers must-have.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-10-30)
