Review by Latin Lady Dj Margarita for WWW.VINILEMANIA.NET
Excellent! Absolutely one of my new favorites!
This great CD starts off with a hard hitting favorite "Ariñañara" with "Timbazo" flavorings! ¡Vaya brother, esto si que quema! This track is nothing short of "scorching!"
This entire project is filled with new renditions of "Joe Cuba" favorites such as "Tremendo Coco", "El Hueso", "Guaracha Y Bembe" and "Cachondea!" Exquisitely arranged and produced by Nils Fischer and promising to thrust any dancer onto any dance floor! You'll feel the exciting rhythms of Timba which are likened to the heart beats of these amazingly talented musicians. The line-up of musicians who performed on this project reads like a "Who's Who," and is truly "All-Star."
