Colombia keeps churning out the goods. With Que Pasa, his third CD as a leader, Victor Hugo proves that he's no fluke. This guy is polished *and* tough. Hugo, backed by other former Grupo Niche members, embraces the entirety of salsa. From the hard-driving uptempo tracks "Ella" and "Que Pasa" to the unashamedly direct declaration of love "Island Girl" — he has matured into a formitable leader who commands respect even when singing softly. I especially like the swanky, swinging "Oye Latino" and the explosive showstopper "Korin Gabe" — perfect dance club numbers. Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-03-06)
