Oscar D'Leon LOVES to perform live and you can practically hear his huge grin and energy in every song on this CD. The crowd goes wild at the first notes of "Lloraras" and you will too, even if you've never seen him jumping around and dancing on stage until the sweat comes pouring down his shiny head. He's a blast! All of his songs are truly salsa at its best, and with two fabulous CDs together, you're sure to find the songs you're looking for like "Lloraras" and "Me Voy Pa' Cali". They did a great job of editing out all the unnecessary noise and applause that usually go with a live CD too, so this is a real winner. En Vivo is definitely the best of El Leon de la Salsa!

If you have never had the pleasure of listening ODL live, you are losing a great experience.
A must for a ODL fan!!

Oscar have won the tittle " El Sonero Mayor" because he deserved, he did no call himself like that, it is the people who give this distintion to the artist, he is being working hard, most than other artist, he is well known world wide, in Japan, Holand, Spain, Germany, by himself. There is blind people, selfish, stingy, because he does not belong to their etnicity or nacionality. He has the capacity to get up dead people, no body can be without dancing when he is singing, and that is something that only few artist in the world can do it. We the people, his fans called him "El Sonero Del Mundo"

Oscar D Leon has earned his own merits and does not need to take, or steal a title from anyone dead or alive, but the truth is there is and always be only one sonero mayor and that is ISMAEL RIVERA. And he didn't call himself that. The great Benny More called him that after hearing him sing. Another thing is that Andy Montanez has been doing his thing way before Oscar D Leon even came into the scene. And Andy is EL Maestro Sonero ask any salsero and they will tell you that. But to the real issue here , this is a good recording and Oscar jams. The sound is excellent and the two cd's are well worth the price. I only wished Oscar would have included some of his recent hits.

Oscar D Leon 's new CD is a very good compliation of his hits recorded LIVE at the famous NY nite club, the Copacabana. Many of Salsa legends such as Andy Montanez, Cheo Filiciano,El Gran Combo, etc, have performed here. Oscar makes the listner imagine being there live. In this CD, Oscar plays tribute to cuban legend Benny More whom he says was his influence in the track' Que bueno baila usted', and he also plays tribute to someone whom he doesn't really want to admit to the great puerto rican sonero Andy Montanez in the track 'A MI MANERA'. This is not the first time Oscar has sung one of Andy's signiture song. It's time Oscar came clean and admit that Andy truly is "EL REY DE LOS SONEROS''.
