5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! This is a great album!, July 20, 1999

Well known as the "Mayimbe" of Amargue music, Antony Santos' second album, "La Batalla", may well be one of his bests CD of his career. Starting off with "El Perrito" and finishing off with "Ay Mujer", this CD catapults him to the top of the fame with songs which no doubt reflects what really is in his heart.....the love of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorite tapes!, April 24, 2000

This review is from: Batalla (Audio CD)

I spent the summer of 1993 in the Dominican Republic, in a little village in Dajabon right on the Haitian border. This tape comprised at least 80% of the music I heard over those two months. Fortunately, it's such a great album that I didn't get even remotely sick of it! I still listen to it frequently seven years later, and I'm excited to be able to buy the CD, since the cassette I have is on the verge of falling apart!

5.0 out of 5 stars Old-school Dominican bachata, October 1, 2008

This review is from: Batalla (Audio CD)

This is the second album, from 1993, by Dominican pop star Antony Santos, featuring a more rural, acoustic version of the now-global bachata style. This is considered by many fans to be his best album: if you prefer the earlier bachata style of the 1960s and '70s (which is hard to find these days -- try the "Bachata Roja" compilation album) then you might want to check out this early album from Santos. It's pretty close to the old sound, and has a nice lyrical melodic core. Recommended! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue World Music Guide)
