Produced by Luis Ortiz
Editor's Pick:
"This is a 70s salsa tour de force. From the opening trumpet notes of Planté Bandera, these guys mean business. The band sounds great, Luis Perico Ortiz' arrangements are beyond superlative (check out what may be the best break and mambo in salsa history on Planté Bandera) and Chamaco Ramírez turns in a slick, clever and often hilarious performance with his funky phrasing and soneos. The songs themselves are typical salsa dance tunes, nothing too profound, but a joy to listen to because of their catchiness and energy, like A La Yumbae, one of the few merengues I actually admit enjoying. If you play this album at a party and don't get everybody up and dancing, you're probably partying with Republicans and need to get a new set of friends. Do your ever-developing sense of aesthetics a favor and add it to your shopping cart." (Abel Delgado, 98/99 Catalog) (Abel Delgado, 2011-05-07)
