I purchased this item for one particular song that I was going to use in a fitness class. The rest of the music is good with fast merengues. The only thing I don't like is the interludes between songs and that oro solido starts all their songs with an intro that gets annoying after hearing it in one or two songs. Overall good product and the delivery from third party via amazon was fast.

Oro Solido is the best merengue band to ever come out of our fair city...NYC! Although merengue originated in Dominican Republic, these second generation dominicanos represent Dominicans, and Latinos, to the fullest! Raul Acosta is the energetic and charismatic frontman who spawned countless imitators who WISH they could do it like him. This is a 10 yr celebration and includes many new songs with many collaborators. I'm happy to see Reynos on 2 cuts, he is a NY born Dominican from my part of town, Washington Heights, who as far as I know is the ONLY Dominican rapper around. And no Fabolous is only half Dominican and doesn't speak a word of Spanish, so he doesn't count! Oro Solido have not changed their sound much since 1994, but that is good because they are good at what they do. Fast paced, perico ripiao inspired urban merengue, incorporating many other facets of Latin music( namely salsa and reggaeton ) that is enjoyed as much in NY as it is in Santo Domingo! I give it 4 stars cuz Acosta and crew have not lost an ounce of energy and still do merengue this way better than the rest. The dedication to Celia "La Reina" Cruz is appropriate as she passed last year and won't soon be forgotten.

this cd is fire...its all packed and ready for 2005, this cd is sooo good, i could brag about it all day...the song that really stood out was los santos(the best song on the cd)...overall it was off the hook....any merengue fan should get this...
