Editorial Reviews

Second album from the Colombian salsero who has chosen Paris as homeport since 1998 affirms his status as an exciting international artist. Buenaventura sings with the passion of a possessed sonero. His bolero/salsa cover of "Ne Me Quitte Pas" of Jacques Brel made this Colombian a very popular debut in France where he sells very well. Includes collaborations with Puerto Rican musicians Luis Marin (piano) Raphy Torres (trombone) Charlie Sierra (timbal and bongo) among others and also invited Papo Lucca on two tracks, Cachete Maldonado on two others with choruses by Charlie Aponte, Wichi Camacho and Jerry Rivas.

This is probably one of the best starting salsa cds I own. IT starts out SALSA, SALSA !!! and it just makes you want to get up and dance. On a couple of tracks his voice sounds like the legenday Hector lavoe. This is a fun cd. It has its slow songs and its fast ones, it has a nice flow. It has many different types of tropical music it has bolero, latin jazz and of course SALSA!!!Have you ever heard an arab sing slasa? Well on one track you can hear it..and it sounds smooth.

This CD is incredible. When I first heard Mala Vida and Salsa Rai, it was a revelation. It's not often you hear something completely new in salsa, but this CD is like a rare delicacy that contains flavors and tastes that you just cannot find anywhere else. Beginners will probably be LOST listening to some of the complex layers and rhythms contained herein, but the true salsa connoisseur is going to eat this alive. Do not miss!

The title track Salsa is found in the French movie "Salsa".
One of my favourite Salsa movies.
Yuri's music video of the song Salsa contains mostly shots of this movie.
It is a shame the French movie "Salsa" is not available in the USA.
This cd is one of my favourite's.
Great dancing music.
Has both fast & slow songs but all are great.
