Editor's Pick:
What can one say about Don Perignon and the Orquesta Puertorriqueña crew? How's this: damn, they are good. Musical director and timbalero Perignon has done it again with this super high-octane brand of power-punch salsa. A good part of the soul of the orchestra belongs, in no small amount, to pianist-arranger Willie "Mundial" Sotelo who turns nearly everything he touches into salsa gold. Sotelo penned the opening track, the uncontrollably combustible "Perignon Añejo." Other Puertorriqueña regulars have returned for this project too: baritone sax player Sammy Vélez, bassist Pedro Pérez and conguero William "Cachiro" Thompson. Singer Rico Walker also returns (listen to him on the relentless "No Quiero Llanto"). For my money, Walker remains one of pillars of the orchestra. He consistently pushes the limits of any composition. He is joined by newcomer Wicky Gonzalez (who shines on "Amor De La Calle") and, making his Puertorriqueña debut, Fania veteran Junior Gonzalez who sings on three dynamic tracks.
This is Puerto Rican salsa at its best. It would be hard to imagine a more potent combination of musicians and arrangements. This, folks, is a big DJ Alert and...
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2008-05-22)
