4.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Evil, October 1, 2003

This review is from: Heavy Salsa (Audio CD)

Unlike other reviewers, I cannot stand to listen to this Cd anymore. Any time I hear a song from this Cd at the club, I have a strong tendency to roll my eyes. I know, so why 4 stars?

Because this Cd is the ultimate party Cd. The ONLY way you could not have heard "Al Son de los Cueros", "Micaela", or "El Pito" is if you've been dancing in a cave. They get played in the club all the time, because the tracks are up-tempo, high energy cuts w/catchy melodies and coros that stay in your head for days. Yes indeed, this cd is very infectious. Guaranteed to get a party started......well, unless you've got a lot of folks like me there.

In fact a lot of Sonora Carruseles Cds are like this one, so much so that this is the only one I would buy. Unfortunately, they have found a "recipe for success" and are scared to break the mold. Every song comes out blasting at the same break-neck speed from beginning to end, and its usually a cover of someone else's song. It would be nice to see them come out with some original stuff!

Anyway, buy it, because everyone needs a copy of this Cd. But be VERY careful about overplaying it.....you'll hate yourself forever if you do!!!

For better or worse my taste in salsa has apparently been shaped by the music played in clubs and sure enough if you go to the clubs, you'll hear these songs over and over and over again. I love them because they have a pronounced beat and are great to dance to. The rhythm and the music moves your body to dance, whether you like it or not. Even those who are new to salsa and are not used to the music and have difficulty hearing the beat and letting their bodies dance will find it easy to move and dance with these songs. The music takes over your body, mind and soul, you just surrender and dance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!, July 5, 2002

This is the best salsa CD I have, and I have a lot of salsa CDs! The music is so infectious-it gets under my skin and make me want to turn up the volume and dance around all day! The best part about Sonora Carruseles is the fact that they play authentically, yet they aren't afraid to sneak in their own twists. I absolutely love this CD-it is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is even remotely interested in Latin music and salsa. BUY IT! you won't regret it!
