Ruben Blades
Greatest Hits
CD
(Fania / Emusica - Remastered Edition 130 446),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
Here's the best distillation of Ruben Blades tracks that I have come across. Compiled by Nelson Abreu, this selection will win over anyone who doubts just how important Blades is in the history of Latin music; he created a genre of salsa for the "thinking man." The David Byrne of salsa. Liners by Jaime Torres Torres. With "Plástico" (with Willie Colón), "Juan Pachanga," "Paula C," "Canto Abacuá" (with Ray Barretto), "El Cantante" and many other pivotal tracks.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2008-11-03)
