Well I must say that Raul Acosta never stops coming out with new ways to jam a party. The songs "codigo de areas" "bachata pa'bailar" "pijama party" "reina de la pista" are some very hot songs. There's no doubt about this album that it has a lot of "HITS". So don't miss it, you won't regret it.......

PapyDave #1 (EL PUNAL)

Raul Acosta and Oro Solido do it again! WOW heavy high energy Bomba (Merengue). The first release cut 1 "La Reina De La Pista" jams with all the ladies in the clubs, that love to move their stuff. The second release cut 10 "El Baile Del Gorila" is just savage (salvaje), a great bomba jam. Another "Hasta Las Quince..." merengue production jam from Oro Solido. If you are an Oro Solido fan or just a merengue crazed aficionado you will love this CD. By the way the listing here is wrong, there are 10 cuts in the CD...

Baile del Gorila is a fine slow rolling merengue with lots of moves which puts this CD into the must have class. The Cumbia Picara, is (I finally realized) not a cumbia, but another rolling merengue with lots of moves. The bachata is real though -- and swings. The first three merengues will wear down anyone who does much more than shimmer to them. They go more with Solido's high energy visual dance ensemble at live performances such as at the Latin Palace where I saw them. Gorila joins a string of superhits from Maria se fue to Paleta, innovative conceptually and musically.

I was very surprised when I listened to this album. I did not expect it to be so full of energy and charisma. Raul Acosta once again has risen to the occasion and is showing the world that his style of "mambo merengue" is real and here to stay. Honestly, I am not fan of "Oro Solido" and seldomly listen to their music but I will give credit when credit is due. This merengue is up beat, fast paced with crazy lyrics which makes dancing this kind a merengue a lot of fun. Also included is a bachata and a cumbia which are debuts for Oro Solido in each genre respectively and are very well done. This is dancer's album from start to finish. Therefore, if you like fast paced, mambo merengue Oro Solido style you will love this album. Bueno ponte a bailar hasta las quince mama...
