5.0 out of 5 stars Best i've heard in quite some time..., November 22, 2002

As someone who has listened,danced and even played Latin Music (I generally disdain the term "salsa" I consider "salsa" a condiment not a genre...but i digress...this album has begun to restore my faith in the future of latin music...this cd is "straight ahead" without regard to the pop music we hear co much of today...for those new yorkers out there...this is definitly "Corso", Hunt's Point Palace, and Colgate Garden's variety, knock your socks off music that revels in it's originality...this from someone who bought his first Palmieri LP in 1964...Azucar...and jammed at Orchard Beach (Section 9)....Tropicoro Club on Wednesdays, Colgate and the Hunt's Point Palace on Sunday's and the Corso on Saturdays...this is the real ...*....Ramon Pinero

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, September 5, 2003

Fantastic release from Edwin Bonilla. No filler material, just some great Salsa Dura with a decidedly cuban feel. Jesus Perez does a nice job on vocals (and arrangements!), and the tracks are sure to keep ya dancin the whole CD through. While its only his second solo salsa release, Mr. Bonilla is an impressively credentialed veteran percussionist, and it shows on this album!

While I'm not sure you can say Mr. Bonilla is the most popular Salsa artist in the world(could that comment have been biased by the fact that Mr. Bonilla is living and working in Miami? ;-)), I am sure he's getting plenty of play time everywhere!

Bonilla really comes along with some great salsa here....not at all in the romantic vain, frequently associated which Puerto Rican Salseros. No, this one really takes it home, with great playing. Salsa duro....
