I'm usually not very fond of merengue compilations, but a series that always deliver the good stuff is Merenhits. The 2001 version contains new stuff as "El burro" by Andy Pena, "Adivina" by Grupo Mania, and "Cuando el Amor se Dana" by Rikarena. Some classic tracks are here too like "Dile" by Sergio Vargas and "No me digas que no" by La Makina. However, for the lovers of traditional "Palo" music, tha last track "San Miguel" by Charlie Valenz is worth buying the whole album.

This edition of the Merenhits series is a good compilation of merengues that were popular in 2000 & 2001. I bought the cd to maintain the collection that I have starting with Merenhits'94 and thus far J & N records has not disappointed me. This particular cd can be listened to non stop and you will enjoy it thoroughly especially if you like contemporary merengue. Many of the popular groups and their hit song have been included in this cd and coincidentally some of the songs have similar rhythms. The merengues are very upbeat but mid-tempo and fall into the category of nightclub style merengue. I particularly like this cd because of it's variety. I have always been a fan of hard hitting merengue but over the years I have come to appreciate "romantic merengue" and there are some nice tracks on this cd such as "Pegame tu vicio", Jamas podra olvidar" and "Cuando el amor se dana". I liked Andy Pena's "Burro"-a very unique mixed rhythm of bachatamerengue. "Advina", "No me digas que no" and "Dile" are some nice merengues to dance to as well. There is one surprise bachata and a nice one too-Llora alma mia. Once again if you are fan of contemporary merengue and are looking for a nice nightclub style cd for listening and dancing this edition of Merenhits is a worthwhile purchase.

This series never dissapoints. Many good tracks here including the popular "Cuando El Amor se Dana" by Rikarena, "Pegame tu vicio" by Eddy Herrera, and the incomparible Serio Vargas with one of his best "Dile". Buy it, listen, dance, and explore other music by your favorite artists on this CD.
