EDWIN BONILLA Y SU SON
Pa' La Calle
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 2004
Category: SALSA/SON; SALSA
EditorsPick: White-hot salsa -- dangerously close to the way the salsa gods planned it. Conguero/timbalero Bonilla is back with some more get-ya'-butt-on-the-dancefloor-NOW music that burns from the first track to the last. With smart, crackling arrangements by Sergio Cruz, Carlos Infante, Alfredo Pérez, Oscar Hernandez and Jorge Sosa, this one, folks, is a must-have: DJ Alert. Simply terrific vocals by Jesús "El Niño" Pérez, Juan "Cheito" Quiñones, Nelson Llompart. Bonilla never seems to disappoint. His last two releases on SAR were killers, and this one raises the bar even further. La rumba esta buena. Very highly recommended. (BP)

EDWIN BONILLA Y SU SON
Soy La Candela
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 2002
Category: SALSA/SON; SALSA
EditorsPick: Here's the CD of the month... With a wall of fire and power that matches or exceeds his last superb CD, Edwin y Su Son, Edwin Bonilla raises the bar for Salsa Dura releases for 2002. Each cut is a well-crafted dance tune that leaves a billowing cloud of smoke behind. Jesús "El Niño" Pérez does a terrific job on vocals (he's on tres and flute, too). Edwin's congas are red-hot, as well. Although every cut here swings, his eight minute Recordando La Descargas, a homage to the sizzling Cuban descargas of the late '50s, is pretty remarkable, and should not be missed. Get it. Highly recommended. (BP)

EDWIN BONILLA Y SU SON
Tirando Pa' Charanga - Edwin Bonilla Y Jesús "El Niño" Pérez
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 2006
Category: DANCE TRADITIONS; CHARANGA
EditorsPick: Bonilla and El Niño team up to make their dream charanga record. Full of rich, tasty dance grooves driven by Pedro Alfonso's sizzling violin riffs and El Niño's flute work. The multi-tasking El Niño is also the bassist, pianist, tresero and lead vocalist. And percussionist Bonilla knows just how to motivate. He's here on congas, timbales, bata and chekere. Original compositions, mostly by the dynamic duo, rock steady: true to form charanga that will not disappoint. I especially liked the club-ready killer track "Angoa." Also with trombonist Jordán Martinez, coroistas Kiko Osorio and Juan (Cheito) Quiñonez, Lazaro Leiva as bassist on a few tracks, and Tony Colombie on güiro. Highly Recommended. (BP)

HENRY FIOL
Fé, Esperanza Y Caridad
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 1990
Category: SALSA/SON; SALSA
EditorsPick: **Classics Revisited** Fe, Esperanza y Caridad was Henry's 1980 solo debut on the SAR label, formed the previous year by Sergio Bofill, Adriano García and singer, bandleader, percussionist and composer Roberto Torres, who produced the project. And what a band?! Alfredo Valdés Jr. on piano, Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros on trumpet, plus Puerto Rican tres guitar virtuoso Charlie Rodríguez; with bassist Russell "Skee" Farnsworth (who'd worked with Ricardo Ray in '60s) arranging the six extended tracks. Included is Henry's sublime rendition of "Oriente", composed by one of his idols, the Cuban sonero Cheo Marquetti (1909-1967), and featuring a delicate piano solo by Valdés Jr.. Re-listening to the album reminded me of my Descarga.com interview with Sidestepper's Richard Blair in 2000, who described Fe, Esperanza y Caridad as "absolutely devastating", and went on to say: "There's an English engineer friend of mine who's a big big fan, he's not into salsa, but he played that record every day for a week, just for the sound of it. And they are as heavy as any Led Zeppelin record." Exactly. (John Child)

LA INDIA DE ORIENTE
La India De Oriente
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 1992
Category: SALSA/SON; SON, GUARACHA, GUAJIRA
EditorsPick: **Classics Revisited** No not Ms. Caballero, the young hip-hopper turned salsa-pop artiste known as La India, but singer Luisa María Hernández, who had just turned 60 when the phenomenal success of the SAR label briefly revived her career in the 1980s. Born in El Cobre, in the province of Cuba formerly known as Oriente, she became "La India de Oriente" at the beginning of the 1940s. She worked in radio and TV and performed with names like Trío La Rosa, Barbarito Díez, Celia Cruz and Julio Gutiérrez before relocating to the USA in 1960. She made two albums for the Gema label, Guajiras y Décimas and another with Julio Gutiérrez y sus Guajiros. Between 1980 and 1982 Luisa María recorded three wonderful albums for the SAR sister label Guajiro, ¡Desde El Cobre Con Amor!, La India de Oriente and Buenos Dias Africa, and sang lead vocals on one track in SAR All Stars Interpretan A Rafael Hernández '81 on SAR. Her final outing was La Reina de la Guajira '85 on the SAR descendant Caimán. The anthology La India De Oriente collects four tracks each from ¡Desde El Cobre Con Amor! and Buenos Dias Africa. Most of the SAR house band were on the sessions, including trumpeters Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros and Leonel Sánchez, bassist Marino Solano, bongosero Juan Méndez, tres player Charlie Rodríguez and conguero Alberto Valdés. Alfredo Valdés Jr. played piano and cast all the arrangements in the characteristic rootsy SAR mould of extended tracks with plentiful soloing opportunities. A mystery flautist, using the pseudonym El de la 7, played on ¡Desde El Cobre Con Amor! and someone called Raúl Sabor, which sounds like another false name, played flute on Buenos Dias Africa. Gorgeous stuff. Highly recommended. (John Child)

FERNANDO LAVOY
Fernando Lavoy Y Los Soneros
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 1982
Reissued: 1994
Category: SALSA/SON; SON, GUARACHA, GUAJIRA
EditorsPick: **Classics Revisited** In 1982, he took star billing on the follow-up Fernando Lavoy y Los Soneros and composed half the songs, including the fantastic mellow groove "Cójelo Suave" and upbeat mover "No Vuelvo Contigo". Fine piano solos from Juan González Jr distinguish both tracks.. The album kicks off in brisk form with "No Voy A Dormir", on which Juan González unleashes a tasty ornate trumpet solo. He also solos on "Cójelo Suave", where his trumpet work veritably oozes sabor, the Miguel Matamoros tune "Pegaditos" and Fernando's third composition "No Vuelvo Contigo". The Juan González penned track "Arrolle Bailando" showcases a tour de force solo from conguero Roberto Borrel topped and tailed by soaring, layered trumpet lines. Fernando relocated to Miami, where he sessioned as a chorus singer during the remainder of the '80s. In 1989 he returned with the yet to be reissued Fernando Lavoy Con El Conjunto Dinastiadiez on Don Mateo / Codiscos, recorded in Bogotá, Colombia and Miami. Musically, the album was one of the strongest salsa releases of the year and spawned "La Perrita De Vicente", another tune popular with Colombians. In the mid-'90s he was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. Fernando Lavoy y Los Soneros is well performed, arranged and produced, and come highly recommended. (John Child)

FERNANDO LAVOY
Los Soneros
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 1981
Reissued: 1994
Category: SALSA/SON; SON, GUARACHA, GUAJIRA
EditorsPick: **Classics Revisited** Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1950, talented sonero and composer Fernando Lavoy (nicknamed "El Montunero") arrived in the USA in 1980. That year he was introduced on Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros' Y Sigo Con Mi Son on SAR performing extended interpretations, arranged by Cuban pianist Alfredo Valdés Jr., of six songs associated with the Cuban bands Sonora Nacional and Conjunto Bolero, the original versions of which were all included on the collection Sones, Rumbas y Guaguancó issued by the Cuban state label Areito. The six cuts from Y Sigo Con Mi Son are collected in the highly recommended anthologies Lo Mejor De Chocolate Vol. 1 (1990 on SAR) and Y Sigo Con Mi Son - Lo Mejor Vol. 2 (1991 on SAR). In 1981 Fernando made notable contributions to SAR All Stars Recorded Live In Club Ochentas, Album 1 and SAR All Stars Interpretan A Rafael Hernández; also highly recommended. The same year, Fernando made Los Soneros, the first of two albums for SAR with the band of the same name. Los Soneros were one of the few aggregations to record for SAR (and the allied Guajiro, Toboga and Neon imprints) not comprised of the label's house musicians. Their musical director, arranger and trumpeter was Juan González, who had been first trumpeter with the legendary Cuban band Conjunto Casino. He had also worked with Conjunto Saratoga and pianist Luis Santí and directed Conjunto Musicuba de Tejedor. The CV of the band's bongo player, Juan Méndez, features names like Roberto Faz, Orquesta Rumbavana, Johnny Pacheco and the SAR All Stars. Emulating Conjunto Casino, Los Soneros featured four trumpets, rhythm section (piano, bass, conga, bongo) and voices, with the addition of tres guitar. Both albums followed the SAR policy of stretched-out numbers with plenty of spaces for improvisation. Fernando wrote half the tracks on the rock solid Los Soneros, including "Refréscate La Memoria", which became a hit in the Colombian market. Juan González takes soulful solos on this track - his horn braying a la Chappottín -, "Mi Son Sandunguero" and the other two Lavoy penned numbers, "Guaguancó Pa'l Mundo" and "Mulata, Sé Que Te Gusta". On the outstanding "El Timbero Mayor", Fernando's soneos glide effortlessly over the powerful, insistent coro voices and the precision trumpet section fire volleys of cascading phrases. "El Mensajero" provides a platform for a masterful conga solo. (John Child)

LINDA LEIDA
Con Sabor A Montuno
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 1991
Category: SALSA/SON; SON, GUARACHA, GUAJIRA
EditorsPick: **Classics Revisited** One of those rarities in salsa, a woman singer, Linda Leida began her solo career in the mid-'70s with Aqui Esta Linda on TR Records, followed by Electricando Linda on TR in 1978 produced by Tito Puente, whose band she performed with for a brief period. "Tito always went through a period, every once in a while, where he would have a thing for having a female singing in the band. Most of the things that we performed with her were older arrangements to which Héctor Rivera had added saxophone parts," reveals Puente's former musical director José Madera, whose currently musical director of the Latin Giants of Jazz. Born in Villas, Cuba, earlier in her career she sang lead vocals on the track "Afro Cha" (composed by Lou Pérez) on Willie Rosario's third album Latin Jazz Go Go Go (1964 on BMC and reissued on Neliz in 1998). Con Sabor A Montuno was Linda's third outing and the fifth release on the new SAR label co-founded in 1979 by Sergio Bofill, boss of the premier 10th Avenue Latin record distributor GB Records, Adriano García and Roberto Torres, who produced the album. Torres assembled a classic two-trumpet conjunto lineup for the date featuring trumpeters Chocolate and Lionel Sánchez, Papaíto (1925-2000) on bongo, Victor Trías on tres guitar and the legendary Lino Frías (d April 1983, NYC) on piano. Lino, who was also a composer and arranger, had retired from La Sonora Matancera in 1977 because of arthritis after 35 years with the great Cuban musical institution and this was probably his final recording session. Papaíto was a serving member of La Sonora Matancera at the time of the recording, having first worked with them in 1960. Befitting SAR's house style of stretching out Cuban son montunos, guajiras and guaguancos with plenty of space for soloing, the six selections on Con Sabor A Montuno include the classic son montunos "La Alegría Del Montuno" and "Oye Como Suena" by Pío Leiva (known as "El Montunero de Cuba"), and "Anita" by Compay Segundo and Lorenzo Hierrezuelo. Lino contributes exquisite solos to "La Alegría Del Montuno" "A Comer Chicharrón" and "Ay! Que Tiene El". Linda made a further three albums, Linda Leida '80 on SAR, Linda Leida 1982 on Sacodis and Linda Leida y La Bahia '84 on Caimán, before she met an untimely end when she was murdered in the late 1980s. Highly Recommended. (John Child)

MONGUITO
Lo Mejor De Monguito
SAR/Guajiro
Originally released: 1991
Category: SALSA/SON; SON, GUARACHA, GUAJIRA
EditorsPick: **Classics Revisited** After arriving from Cuba (via Mexico), the Afro-Cuban sonero Monguito made his New York album debut on 1963's Primitivo on Roost singing lead vocals with the conjunto of the legendary Arsenio Rodríguez (see the Classics Revisited review). He went on to work with the likes of Johnny Pacheco's Nuevo Tumbao, Herbie Mann, Tico All-Stars and Larry Harlow before making four solo albums on Fania between 1967 and 1971. After a period of low output during the '70s, he made a major comeback in 1979 with Yo No Soy Mentiroso, the second release to come out of the newly formed SAR stable. This album marked the beginning of a highly productive five year period during which he worked on various productions for the Ivory Coast based Sacodis label and the SAR sister label Toboga. Lo Mejor De Monguito includes all six tracks from Yo No Soy Mentiroso, recorded when producer Roberto Torres and arranger Alfredo Valdés Jr. were creating the mould of the SAR house style of stretched-out tracks with oodles of space for soloing, and four cuts from 1982's Monguito El Unico on Toboga. In addition to Valdés Jr. on piano, other featured SAR All-Stars are trumpeter Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros, tres player Charlie Rodríguez and conguero Alberto Valdés. Monguito and Valdés Jr. adopted a similar style for the Sacodis productions, the reissue of which are eagerly awaited. In the meantime, lap this up. Highly recommended. (John Child)
