When Fernandito Villalona drop this album, his music career was lost in a strom. Not just his music, but his life. He had to deal with problems about his sexuality and drugs. The Dominican community was rejecting his music for these reasons. But he came back, with this album "Soy Un Hombre Feliz" to prove them wrong. In the song "Pueblo Mio" he sings about how much he regrets using drugs and that he wants his audience back. He asked for forgiveness and for another chance at glory. Slowly his audience came back, thanx to this track in "soy Un Hombre Feliz". This album made Fernandito Villalona lift himself back up, and back ontop of Dominican Republic the land he loves.

With this comeback album, Fernando Villalona did that and more - creating an album that is truly one of the great merengue classics.

It isn't often that you find a merengue or album that sounds truly different, but this is. The arrangements, mostly by Manuel Tejada are among the best he had ever done. The ambience is restrained, folksy, and complex. The use of the background singers is exceptional and intriguing.

And of course, Villalona shows himself to be at the peak of his singing power.

This may not be the ideal merengue album to get up and dance to, but it is one you will listen to and absorb its great sophistication.

ALL I COULD SAY ABOUT THIS CD THAT IT IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST. HE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MOST DEFINITELY HE IS "EL MAYIMBE".

If you ask someone in the dominican republic who is the best singer they would tell you Fernado. Fernado is the most popular merenguero in his country. This album contain such good music that there is no daubt that this album is one of his best albums. If you are thinking to buy this album I guaranteed it. I bet you are going to start singing soy hombre feliz.

This album is definitely one of his best. Although all his music is quality. I've been expecting a new album for 3 years, don't let us down Villalona, keep on doing music. You make us proud Mayimbe.

This album by Fernando Villalona is ultimatey one of my favorites by him and in merengue in general. This album is very significant in that it is his come back album after having almost totally destroyed his career and losing it all. This is classic romantic merengue that is so danceable and so great to listen to. I will not dare to single out one song in particular but rest assured this one can be listened to from start to finish since all the songs are terrific and the rhythm is just perfect. It is not too soft but hard hitting enough to get you dancing. This album is definitely up there with the greatest of all time in this genre. Give it a try...you will not regret it.
