Review by Latin Lady Dj Margarita for WWW.VINILEMANIA.NET
Orquesta Miramar's debut album, La Musica de Ramón Rodriguez, Volviendo a Las Raices is nothing short of Grammy material. An exquisite piece of work from start to finish. This project promises to motivate you to get up and dance and never leave the dance floor. Orquesta Miramar Volviendo a Las Raices delivers an album with everything that is required to create a # 1 cd along with simply great and original material, superb musical arrangements, melodically sweet coros and tons of swing, one track after the next, over and over again. Orquesta Miramar accomplishes the task of delivering a piece of salsa perfection on this, their very first attempt.
The title of Orquesta Miramar's debut album is more than merely a name for the cd, it is an acknowledgement of gratitude and honor, worthy of being trumpeted, boldly and with much sentiment. Reading the liner notes, one simply cannot escape from being drawn into this heartfelt and passionate story of how Orquesta Miramar came to be. It is the affirmation that "if you can believe it, you can achieve it". Yes Alfredo, dreams truly can come true, no matter what age one is! "Querer es Poder". Take time to read the liner notes and if you don't understand Spanish, have someone read them to you. Worth the time to do so.
This is one album that will not disappoint any salsa enthusiast and should owned by every salsa club Dj, and/or salsa radio host. Don't leave home without it because you'll definitely want to be playing this over and over again.
Outstanding debut album! Congratulations Alfredo Llop on making your dream come true. Orquesta Miramar... Nos Vemos en los Grammys! Wepa!
