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!

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.

AHHHHH..EL Gran Combo....perfection..you need salsa done right they did it.This band is one of the oldest Salsa Bands still performing and making great salsa music.The band has a very rich history, and to see them perform is an awesome and unforggetable treat.Every song on this album is perfection of this art form.From years of playing together these guys get it right everytime Thank you El Gran Combo and thank you Puerto Rico...Salsa Salsa Salsa. It would be wise to get all there albums none dissapoint

Hay otras países que imitaron nuestro ritmo del la Isla del Encanto pero no nunca llegan a ese nivel de funcionamiento excepcional. Especialmente El Gran Combo! Si hay otras artistas o grupos buenos pero no son y en mismo nivel. Este CD esta super chevere. Compra lo sin dudas y desfruta el sabor Boricua!

Tiene buenas canciones, que cuando salieron me impresionaron. Pero como que me aburri del album muy rapidamente. Voy a admitir, a mi me gustan las salsas mas agresivas, modernas, rapidas, y/o experimentales. Por ejemplo los grupos:
Fruko y sus Tesos, Jimmy Bosch, y Africando.

Y por eso mientras EGC saco unos cuantos temas como "Mi Gorda Bonita" en este disco que estan a mis gustos, cuando empiezan a ponerce mas romantico me pierden.

Por lo tanto se lo recomiendo a los que les guste la salsa a medio tempo, con una mezcla de humor y romance.
