Editor's Pick:
Best of 2011 Award Winner
Boom, here it is! Long time readers are well aware of my respect for the work of timbalero and band-leader Don Perignon. His releases of orquesta La Puertorriqueña
have consistantly raised the bar for hard salsa dura and have garnered a basket full of "Best of Year" awards not only from Descarga, but from DJs around the world. Guess what? A Otro Nivel: Homenaje al Bailador, 30 Aniversario reaffirms all of this, and justifys those previous Best-Of honors. You won't find any soft filler material on this album, and don't look for duplicate versions of any songs either (bachata version, balada version, blah blah version...). Nope. What you will find here are eight blistering salsa autentica tracks with names like Negrura, Cascara Con Afinque, La Colora and Apenao that all glow with pure salsa heat. It's the real deal, made so by singers Rico Walker, Joe González and Josue Rosado, trumpeter David "Piro" Rodriguez, conguero Antonio "Coqui" Marrero and many other certified salsa ambassadors. Guests include William "Cachiro" Thompson, Pedro Pérez, Lenny Prieto, Máximo Torres, Carlos "El Indio" Rivera and, yes, more. But much of the power, aside from the superb arrangements, comes from the rock-solid coro section filled out by Jerry Rivas, Gerardo Rivas, Luisito Carrión, and Henry Santiago. Man, they are electrified.
Don't wait: Get this one now. A Best of 2011 front-runner, for sure, and Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2011-12-23)
