This review is from: Veneno (Audio CD)

In 1998 with the release of Veneno, Cortes was fading, but still had his swan song. Veneno is excellent, though not at the level of his best work. In fact, it's not particularly a contest. This is a strong album, with Verano Habanero specially standing out, and a lot of very strong supporting tracks, but it is not a classic on the level of his Timba work from En La Calle to La Bruja *minus La Que Manda, which is OK, but probably inferior even to Veneno*.

Cortes' last hurrah. Very much worth it.
