I've been a fan of and listener to El Gran Combo for nearly forty
years. Their sound is uniquely distinct and always enjoyable,
but I find this recording to be one of their superior efforts-
it smokes,start to finish! One would guess that such a recognizable sound would by now be irrelevant;if anything this recording revalidates the excellence,care,feeling,and
professionalism that has always been characteristic of this fine
group of musicians.Their sound is timeless!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best groups ever., May 12, 2011

One would think that after a storied career (42 years at the time of this release), these guys would be retired, fishing in a lake. Thankfully they aren't. As a fan of older salsa, this is one of my all-time favorite Combo albums. "Mi Gorda Bella" definitely hit the airwaves constantly not only because of the funny lyrics, the music is there too. In fact, there are several tracks that are just outstandingly hard-hitting and great. "El Matrimonio", "Siete Vidas", "Me Dejo en el Aire" and "Pa Arriba no Va" could have easily been the promotional track if it weren't for the soap-opera released that year also. All of the last tracks mentioned are phenomenal displays of their unique sound and why they continue to delight us to this day. 5 stars indeed.
