Opening with the plaintive "Oye Guitarra Mía," this tribute to the great José Feliciano revels in the Latin pop master's command of lavish musical settings as well his bustling salsa expertise. The 16 tracks boast more than 20 guests, each of them stopping by to share vocals or moods with Feliciano, who chimes in bulkily on 10 of the CD's tunes. The heartfelt and stylistically expansive disc opens with Marc Anthony, continues with Gisselle, and has Feliciano himself at the mike for "Isla Mía" and one of his favorite tunes, the Doors' "Light My Fire." The tribute's DVD release will capture what the CD's cover booklet only shows in a two-page visual spread: the elaborate, colorfully built stage show that couches this mood-mixing session. --Andrew Bartlett

This cd is the latter installment of a Puertorican Bank annual production celebrating the best music by artists from Puerto Rico. This year you will be able to enjoy, among others, vocal groups such as Los Hispanos and Son By Four along with Jose, Danny Rivera, Millie Corretjer, Manny Manuel, the sweet and beautiful voice of Nydia Caro, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Antonio Caban Vale "El Topo" and the best latin female singer, Lucecita Benitez. Highly recommended!

WOW and again WOW. what a good representation of Jose's life and music. The first track is my personal favourite but while the cd plays in every car and every stereo in my house people say "Hey who is that, good isn't he?!!" A superb celebration of a superb performer.

This CD is an exciting musical celebration honoring the life of a great man--Jose Feliciano. Through a multitude of Latin flavors, it does justice in paying tribute to THE MAN with a smorgasbord of Latin rhythms and sounds. You will hear a little of the best of everything the Caribbean has to offer, including a little salsa, mambo, and other Latin styles with a liberal dash of Cuban and Puerto Rican seasoning. Jose' does some songs alone, such as a pulsing very modern version of "Light My Fire" and our favorite "Un Ciego No Vive En La Obscuridad"--Jose's own composition with a lovely melody and some great harmonica work. Some numbers he does in duets such as a smooth version of the title track with Marc Anthony. For lovers of Jose's original boleros...he does a lovely medley, beautiful in its simplicity. Many big names such as Marc Anthony and Son By Four and Louis Enrique join in making this a rich well-rounded festival for their hero. Be expecting new arrangements and rhythms and you won't be disappointed. A++++ all the way!
