Can't Call myself a Gilberto Santa Rosa aficionado, after all VICEVERSA is the first Santa Rosa album I have purchased. So pleasantly surprised by this CD that I'm in the search for additionall Santa Rosa work, highly recommended! Un montón de estrellas, Por mas que intento and, El refrán se te olvidó are reason enough to get this CD.

Este disco esta medio regular. Nada lo destaca, pero nada es fatal tampoco. Ahora, tengo que ser sincero, no soy muy fanatico de la salsa romantica y el bolero. Lo cual es decir que si le di 3 estrellas es mucho y es porque los musicos si tocaron con corazon.
Discos como este y el sobrevivir de Olga Tan~on es parte de la razon por la cual el reggeaton se ha vuelto tan popular con nosotros los Boricuas jovenes. Aqui no hay ese sabor de la vida que nosotros los latinos tenemos. Una forma de ver la vido positiva, y que no tiene problema ponerle una bromita a cualquier tema. El romance escrito aqui es muy generico, serio, y se siente como escrito para mayores de 35 an~os.

For Santarosa's fans this is a must. The record is full of UNFORGETABLE poetry, very meaningful lirics, and the salsa/bolero versions make this record a winner, for you can enjoy it whatever the mood you are in. If you want to dance go for the salsa versions, but if you are feeling romantic then bolero is the way to go. This CD contains some songs that are very likely to be classics such as the unforgetable PERDONAME. If you are a salsa-lover you'll apreciate this record for what it is: a MASTER PIECE.

Gilbertito, for those who knew of him back in the days when he was front man singer for Willie Rosario's orquestra next to Tony Vega, continues to provide salsa with class, thoughtful lyrics without losing the swing that has made him a household name. Soledad is a track that is so insightful that I literally couldnt keep from picturing every scenario. The fact that 2 versions were done- ballad and salsa - just make it that much sweeter since it fits any and every mood. This is a must for Gilberto fans and for salsa music enthusiasts!

Excelente disco de buena salsa!! buena música... no entiendo como no fue un gran hit!

Gilberto Santa Rosa one of the best soneros of today. He won a grammy for this cd that should tell you somthing. Overall i really enjoy this cd if i were u i would get it. Top notch salsa at its finest.

I was exceptionally impressed with this cd. My favorite song is Si te Dijeron, which as with many of Santa Rosa's work embodies a perfect combination of sabor and poesia. The rest of the songs are thoroughly enjoyable, such as Como el que No Quiere la Cosa, which is fast and flirty. A very good investment in my opinion.

I did not care for this recording at all. As a matter fo fact, I couldn't find even one cut that I enjoyed. This is far from his best work. It seems that this is a filler album to keep his name current. The songs are totally forgetable and lacking in any melodic attributes. This is an album that should have remained unmade. Santa Rosa aficionados should stay away from this recording.

Gilberto, who is advising you? Why haven't you found a replacement that has a modicum of musical appreciation to keep you from embarrassing yourself?
