Editor's Pick:
This is a really fine album, an essential snapshot of one of the most exciting and dynamic salsa bands from Puerto Rico, ever. Diverse styles, charismatic vocalists Luigi and Tito, classic compositions with intelligent lyrics, entertaining arrangements – it’s all here. From the excellent pop art cover by Walter Velez (that started as a humorous concept by Izzy Sanabria), to the special chemistry of a band that threatened to blow itself apart, “Sonora Ponceña” is a must have. Papo Lucca was just 26 the year this LP came out; his playful solos that quote classic Latin jazz, the fact that he also played vibes and tres on the record, all point to his virtuosity. Top it off with some good liner notes and decent sound, and what’s your excuse for not buying this disc right now?
Highly Recommended! (Pablo Yglesias, 2008-05-11)
Reviews:
You'd expect no less from Quique and Papo Lucca--and what you get here is a whole lot more! Tracks like "Tu Y Yo Na Ma," "Suena Tu Bongo," and "Como Mango" are just several reasons to check out Ponceña in their finest form. (Vicki Solá 96/97 Catalog)
