1. Smash Hit and Richly Deserving - This is the classic album that took Santo Domingo's bachata style around the globe. An amazing string of eminently danceable numbers in Spanish lyrics that are themselves hallmarks of a master of el merengue in all its variants (check his other great albums, too). Beny Moré's crown as singer/songwriter went directly to El Doninicano Alto Juan Luis. My MOST recommended Spanish Caribbean dance album in two generations. JLG studied at Berklee College in Boston and his arranging benefits from jazz chords and the tightest percussion section ever, still touring.

2. Poet Lauerate of Santo Domingo - Without a doubt I think Juan Luis Guerra has been the best of everything that has come from Santo Domingo. His music is poetry in motion and many times with a political statement regardimg the issues that the Republic of SD still faces today.
His words, rhythm and the coolness complement him as no other. In this time of reggaton, his presence is reassurance that there is stil a deep appreciation of excellent music in our language.
Juan Luis Guerra is a treasure of what is good in this world today. Nancy Alvarez, Ph.D.

3. Childhood memories - The song that has stuck with me throughout the years is "Burbujas de Amor". I remember being in second grade hearing this song on the radio for the first time when my dad picked me up from school one afternoon. I remember asking my dad who the artist and telling him that it was a pretty song. I didn't even understand the meaning of the words at that age. This is my favorite song off of the album and to this day, my favorite song of all time.

4. "Bachata Rosa" - I'm a huge fan of Juan Luis Guerra y El Grupo , and have been since I first discovered them when I was a teenager (), now years later I still can't ever get enough of this man's songs and especially of this album which is my total favorite... Juan Luis Guerra knows latin music. As Celia Cruz was the Queen of Latin music, Juan Luis to me is the King.. Que viva la musica latina, now & always for generations to come! Born & raised in Florida with a cuban background I will always follow my spanish blood line and will pass it on to my children and hope they do the same with theirs. :) .. Jan.

5. Bachata: the Music that Changed a Country and the World - Juan Luis Guerra's music is as rich and diverse as the people of the Dominican Republic. The Bachata Rosa album is comprised of merengue, salsa and bachata. Bachata, originates from Santiago and it was considered the music of the "poor." However, Juan Luis who is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music elevated bachata to its highest level - changing the country and the world. The lyrics are as romantic as a Pablo Neruda poem. In addition, you will enjoy smooth melodies and vibrant rhythms. As a result, people of all class levels - poor and rich - in the Dominican Republic accepted bachata as their music with a great sense of pride and honor. And eventually, Juan Luis Guerra became the Dominican musical ambassador to the world.

1. Worthy addition to your music library - Thank you Los Hacheros for such a well crafted and beautifully performed album. Your song choices are brilliant, there isn't a song on the album that I didn't like. Very authentic music, love the danzon, son montuno, guaguanco, timba... Everything is so so good.

1. Fantastic!! - First thing is first this album is great and amazing!! I truly love Romeo Santos his voice is good and has good rhythm. I love every song in this album. Even though this album is great, i kind of admit I miss Aventura a lot! But Romeo is doing great! Another the people who are saying this album is disappointing are wrong! He is an amazing artist and this album is amazing, it is worth it. My honest opinion is that this albumis great.
2013-10-20
2. Not Trying To Hate..... - I have to say that not only as a Dominican musician, but also as someone who grew up listening to bachata.... i understand what Romeo is trying to do, and it is a fair attempt at what could have been an amazing freshman solo album. However, as he calls this CD LA FORMULA he strays away from keeping the original format of bachata. I understand he is trying to change and develop bachata into something new for a new generation, but he should not try to change the original bachata sound. The albums is full of rockstyle solos and different musical nuances that do make this album a diverse one, while at the same time failing to give us classic bachata constructs as he did with Aventura. The so called FORMULA, is very simple. Stick to music that keeps the original dominican bachata sound! UNLESS, you would like to steer clear from bachata altogether and you created this album as just a trampoline to a full blown POP album. A good example of a song that keeps original bachata musicality is "Bella Y La Bestia" The guitar playing on this track is reminiscent of early "Luis Vargas" sounds. Very earthy, Dominican feel to it. Perfect execution.

1. Flor Palida - The lyrics to this song are so moving & heartfelt that the first time I paid attention to them, my eyes watered and tears wet my cheeks. I had not realized Marc Anthony had written these lyrics. He is by far the " Best Salsa " singer of all time. His music not only moves your hips & feet , it also moves your heart and soul. Hopefully

2. THE KING OF SALSA!!!!!!! - Iv been a fan of Marc since he first came out with his first salsa album in . I was yrs old, and as the yrs went by and he was coming out with more music I have loved him and his music even more! About yrs ago I went to my first concert with Marc, Chayanne and Antonio solis At the American Airlines stadium in Dallas TX. And I have to say the best performance that night was by Marc! He definitely stole the show! The way this man sings live is exactly how he sings in his albums! Always on point!!! From one boricua to another Marc I love you! Your voice and music is an inspiration to us! Keep doing what your doing! I will be seeing you soon! Btw this album is AMAZING, worth every penny!

1. Perfection - Marc Anthony nailed this cover of Hector's album!!!! I actually like it even better than Hector's. Marc's vocals are out of this world!
This Album is a must have for salsa fans and people who liked "El Cantante" (the movie). El Cantante

2. A New Classic: A necessity for any salsa music recording collector. - I grew up listening to Hector LaVoe and was admittedly skeptical about this album, but after hearing it, I can't sing enough praises for this recording. The arrangements stayed true to the originals while bringing in something new and fresh to these classic songs. Marc Anthony's vocal interpretations of the pieces are bar none (and dare I say, surpassed the originator?). In the realm of salsa, if Marc Anthony's vocal chords were a violin, he would be a Stradivarius. This is one of my favorite Salsa albums of all time. I would recommend this recording to any salsa novice, and have often have purchased copies as gifts, returned with very positive feedback.

3. Great Music - My girlfriend had asked me ? Have you seen El Cantante ? I said no but always wanted to . She has seen it once before . She rented it so we could see it . We ended up watching it times . We both wanted the sound track . I had to have it . I realy like it . Now Im on the hunt for Hector Lavoe music . Ive already read a bio on him . All this within days .

4. Imitar versus Interpretar - Ok. Considering that most of the people here are "boricuas" and can understand spanish well, here it goes.
Aquí están criticando a Marc Anthony pq jamás se compara con Hector Lavoe; y tienen razón. Como Lavoe, ninguno. Aquí la diferencia es que el no esta imitando a Hector Lavoe, el esta interpretando un papel basado en la vida de Hector Lavoe atraves de su música. Marc interpretó a Lavoe en la película al igual que lo interpretó cantando sus canciones.
El mejor ejemplo es cuando Jennifer Lopez hizo la película de Selena ella interpretó el papel de Selena pero la imitó en su música pq ella doblaba la voz de Selena en la película. Aun así todos sabemos que ella jamás hubiese llenado los zapatos de Selena pero cuando se trata de interpretación se la comió. O sea, Marc no esta tratando de imitar el estilo de Lavoe, ya el tiene el suyo por el cual tiene la fama que tiene, el simplemente esta interpretando su música. No esta llenando sus zapatos!

5. Great album - It appears me that some individuals just aren't Marc Anthony fans bases on the critism that I've read. I consider myself a fair critic no matter if I like the artist or not. As we all can agree, there's only Hector Lavoe. Mr. Anthony does a great job in interpreting Mr. Lavoe's music thru an updated style whiile maintaining the classic sound. His vocals are just as good as Mr. Lavoe's but in his own, strong style. All of the percussions are on point as they were w/ the original artist. The only negative thing that I can say is that the album should've been much larger in order include much of Mr. Lavoe's other & genuine music that we Latinos have grown love & admire. N. Rivera

6. SOME SONGS CAN ONLY BE SUNG BY THOSE WHO POPULARIZED THEM - After hearing HECTOR "LAVOE" PEREZ sing these songs for many years, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to hear others sing them. Marc Anthony is a good singer but I don't think he does a good job singing HECTOR LAVOE'S Hit songs. There is something LACKING here and if you've EVER heard the ORIGINAL and you are really into SALSA/MAMBO music you'll know what it is. Marc Anthony sounds lifeless singing these songs. I don't even know why anyone would get this when you could just GET THE ORIGINALS by HECTOR LAVOE. HELLO! WAKE UP! AGUZATE! It doesn't make sense to get these when ITUNES! has ALL the ORIGINALS. Marc is good singing his SALSA ROMANTICA and in ENGLISH, but NOT with this material.
2009-07-21
7. A Great Album - When you think of Hector Lavoe, what comes to mind? It is fair to say a Latin-American Salsa Legend! He left a legacy behind that will never be forgotten. Though he had a drug using issue, which took him to the grave, his music showed his best attributes. As far as Marc Anthony, he exemplified the qualities in Lavoe that everyone enjoyed which was talent to sing! If you haven't watched the movie, buy it. You won't waste your money. I say thumbs up, El Cantante! (La musica mejor, de Hectór Lavoe!)
2009-06-16
8. Use ACOUSTIC instruments, please! - I would have given this album five stars were it not for the flagrant and tacky use of canned strings. PLEASE, if you're going to arrange the instrumentation to include a string orchestra, then don't cheap-out and use a cheesy synthesizer to cover the string line. Do justice to Mr. Lavoe and his music(and throw some hungry orchestra musicians a little work) by recording with a full complement of strings. The singing/arrangements are great, but the use of the synthesizer cheapens the quality of the work(especially in the title track---yuck)!!!!

9. Marc Anthony the last of the" Salsero's con pantalones". - This man is Un-real, I am old school Salsero and Marc is the last of Heavy Hitter Salsero's of our time, Hector was LaVoe "LA VOZ" But Marc is Marc his style his voice, His Salsa, If Mr. LaVoe were Alive he would be proud of Marc as we are. Like I said Last of the "Salsero's con pantalones". This man is multi talented, Sing, act, Dance, He and his wife are both Triple threat's! Adelante Boriqua's WELL DONE! I am so proud of my people.

10. Believe it or not.... this album is GREAT - Marc Anthony is responsible for making a good movie a pretty amazing movie. Even J. Lo's performance was pretty dead on. If you are hesitant to buy this [which you really should not be, though, i understand] you should rent El Cantante and then you won't be able to NOT buy this album. Impressive performances from both M and J. Buy it, Turn it up, Feel the live band and the captivating sound of M's intriguing voice, and ride the wave. Also, the film visually translates most of the lyrics of each of these songs which makes me understand why they were and still are, so moving. Buy it.

11. new fan - Previously not a M.A. fan. Saw the movie, remembered a lot of the original Lavoe hits. Same hometown- Ponce. I have to say Marc was phenomenal. Great tribute to a great former talent. Lavoe was not perfect, but was a sensational entertainer, and what a voice; not to mention the beat, part of 'salsa royalty', true historic music, like salsa was never again. The soundtrack of my childhood years and so many like me born in the s. Anthony is also a great talent, amazing voice and passion. Earned respects.

12. amazing amazing amazing - this is amazing. it one of the best soundtrack cds i have ever heard. and this is one of the best cds made b y marc anthony and jennifer lopez. this is a great salsa album to dance to. anybody who knows how to salsa dance should get this cd. and if you do not lke the whole cd just buy auanile and mi gente. good work good work

13. Outstanding .. - I was not a huge fan of Marc Anthony until I heard this album. His vocals as a sonero were outstanding, he did the songs justice and I look forward to hearing more of this type of music from him. Excellent orchestra and backup vocals too. This album gets my vote at the Latin Grammys.

14. El Cantante de los Cantante!! - I knew Hector Lavoe personally, and when I went to see the movie with Marc Anthony whom I'm a big fan of also, I could not believe my eye's!! The resenblanance was uncanny I remember crying during the movie, they were happy tears at all the hard work Marc Anthony put into the making of this historic movie! J-LO did a wonderful job in her role as puchi!! Well Marc if you ever read this I just want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for making this movie when I saw you on screen it really made me think of Hector, I'm sure Hector is smiling down on you from Heaven again Thanks RUBEN C P.S. QUE VIVA LA SALSA!!!!

15. super kul - Okay, primero dejame decir q a mi me gusta la salsa mucho. A mi me encanta rock pero tengo q decir q este cd es super cangri. Hector y su musica entro los Estados en los 's y todavia se escucha hoy. Su vida y musica era muy intersante y este cd es un bn "tribute" a su musica. comprate este cd, te gustara.

16. The Bronx is Burning with "salsa" - Remember, Hector Lavoe was the man who blessed us with lyrics. Nothing taking away from Marc, he did an outstanding job playing the role Hector. The original songs sound better. Born the the Bronx in I remeber my father placing his house speaker outsid the window of are seventh floor apartment and Blasting Hectors music. These are truly great memories. Thank you Hector, you left us way to soon.. Go Yankees...

1. again too many songs in English! - I would have loved to buy and also the songs would be nice ...just I do not like English songs so I skiped that one because I would need to delete too many songs.. All in Spanish and this album would have gotten from me. It drives me crazy when I look for Latin music and then get songs in English :( .. that is a reason not to buy or only a few songs in Spanish. Please do NOT mix languages in albums. Make a Spanish and English version so we can buy the full album. Love the songs .. hate when it is in English!
2014-08-04
2. I LOVE PRINCE ROYCE BUT.. - I've been a fan since "Stand By Me" came out. I love Prince Royce's ability to fuse other song genres with bachata, pero.. No me gusta la pop. I'm not a big fan of the pop sounds, I do like his latin/bachata styles A LOT more. The song with Selena Gomez kinda down grades the album for me. This is coming from a girl who owns all the albums physically and on my phone, ipod, and multiple laptops. I will always love Prince, but Bachata is his strongest hold (:
2014-04-23
3. Tremendo! Mejor que los anteriores! - Me encanta! Y dejenme decirles que no soy muy amante de la bachata,pero este disco esta fuera de serie.Las letras y los arreglos musicales y la voz de el es melodiosa.A el lo comparan con Romeo,pero para mi Prince es mucho mejor.Mejores letras,mas melodicas.Para mi Prince y El Torito are the best.Les recomiendo este disco a el que le gusta la bachata.La unica cancion que no me gusta es la con Selena Gomez,pero las demas brutales.Y la version Deluxe esta mejor todavia,porque tiene canciones mas que no estan aqui y estan bien bonitas.

4. Royce Disappointment - Man! This cd is pretty bad(not good) he made phase II look better then it was. This album has good songs. Why can he make great music like what he did with his st cd!?! It's like his trying to prove to the fans that "es el mismo" but he's not. He didn't stay true to his style. In a positive note his still pretty damm sexy. :)

1. Sublime - I adore Marc Anthony. I discovered him while flipping stations in the car one day, about or so years ago. It was the first time that I had ever listened to a Spanish-language radio station, in this case La Mega . in NYC. I had no idea what he was singing about at that time, I was just hooked on his hypnotic voice. It had massive soul. Since that time, I've learned to speak Spanish pretty fluently and enjoy his music on a level that I cannot adequately describe in words. As one reviewer below noted, his music makes you feel alive. Yes! I've seen him in concert at least ten times, all MSG performances and others in the NY-tri state area, and in Miami. I'm a huge music fan and love live performances. I've never experienced a live show like that which Marc puts on. Just saw him at MSG on //. He just continues to stun. What an amazing man. Just when you think he can't top himself...he does. That's the true mark of an artist. He continuously hones his craft.

2. I LOVE MARC ANTHONY - omg his music embodies the boricua culture.... im only sixteen but i've grown up with his music blasting like /.... we have all his albums, my mother and i go to all his shows when hes in nyc.... we love him!!! i even have a cousin named after him... his music is % boricua, especially the songs from "El Cantante" the movie about hector lavoe... i reccommend you search hector lavoe if you digg marc anthony's music... thts classic salsa..... I LOVE SALSA!

3. Ese Flaco es Salsa - Marc Anthony is Salsa! A living legend, his name is synonymous with the genre. Along with Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, Ruben Blades, and Tito Nieves. An extremely strong vocalist, ese flaco belts them out. As an introduction to Salsa and for the afficionado, Marc Anthony is A Prince! WEPA!!!!!!
2007-12-08
4. Sigo Siendo Yo - I've been a fan of Marc Anthony since the beginning, however, I do feel that he has lost some of that flavor and feeling that he had. With that said, this album cannot be consider a new production since most songs with the exception of "Que Precio..., Tragedia & Lo Que no Di," is recycled music. Marc get to business and put out something new.
2006-10-28
5. Jfigueroa - I enjoy all of Marc's song but I would love for him to come out with a complete new album with all new songs. I love the old one's but when he comes out with all new songs he really lets his voice out. At any rate his personal life should stay that way. If he loves J-Lo then just wish him the best. Hurry up Marc with that new album!!
2006-10-08
6. Marc's personal life. - Lets be clear about something... Marc is a talent to be reckoned with PERIOD! I don't care about who he does and doesn't sleep with. He is entitled to his personal choices and most of all to making the mistakes WE ALL MAKE IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! So he and Jennifer found each other while he was still married... So what! HOW DO WE KNOW what was going on behind closed doors. No one is a victim no matter what the circumstances. We bring to ourselves the reflection of how we feel about ourselves. We are such hypocrites that we would much rather HE HAD DONE THE RIGHT THING and stayed married to someone he fell out of love with because that would make him a responsible man. What about his responsibility to his own spirit. He seems happy NOW and he has to live with his choices and however they affect those he loves! The public has no right to anything other than his music. You can buy it or NOT but leave the man alone to the affairs of HIS heart and find happiness within yourselves. That will mean NOT making the POPULAR choice sometimes. A FAN AND A FRIEND!
2006-08-27
7. Fan For Life - Although his personal life has become a major focus for a lot of people.......keep in mind he's just a MAN! Marc Anthony is and will always be one of greatest salsa singers of our time. I love his music the way he sings a song is so powerful it touches your soul and that's what music should do! For all you fans out there focus on his personal life.........remember we don't live with him and we don't know him the way we know our Family and Friends.......We only know the Musician, the Singer the Entertainer. We Love Who We Love and Love Can Make anyone Loose his or her Mind! So with that said, let people live their lives how they see fit. Marc, Lo Que No Di & Que Precio Tiene El Cielo Bravo Bravo.........I'm Never Disappointed keep up the GOOD WORD! Fan Of Beautiful Music.

8. Marc Sigue Siendo el Rey de la Salsa - I have all of Marc Anthony's CD's. Yes, I was expecting a new CD with or brand new songs. However, I'll take the that he included on this CD. I don't know how anyone can sit here and judge other people about their personal lives and what they have and haven't done when they don't even know them personally. How can people be so self-righteous is beyond me. To be honest, I will continue to buy all of his CD's regardless who he's married to or who he's not married. HIs personal life is his personal life. I might not agree how he handled his previous marriage but I'm not him. I will continue to go to as many Marc Anthony concerts and buy as many Marc Anthony CD's that come out. He's an AWESOME Salsa singer and a WONDERFUL performer in person. MARC IS THE KING OF SALSA!
2006-07-18
9. ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICE - Marc Anthony is one of the great voices of the world, he was invited to be in stevie wonder tribue album a collection of artist doin his great songs, micheal jackson tribue concert he was ask by micheal himself to perform for him on stage singing one of his song, which micheal stood up and give him a standing ovation. He is love with fans around the world. His music is basic on love and pain, and life. Album after album he never produced junk always give his fans there money and time worth, with his great gift of music.
2006-07-16
10. Can he sing or what!?!?! ..... - Marc Anthony has one of THE BEST voices out there. The man can sing. If we were to only listen to musical artists who's personal lives we are in agreement with, then we'd all be humming to ourselves and we would not have the benefit of enjoying Marc's rich talent. Marc's voice is beautiful, strong and passionate. We are reviewing his album, not his relationships. Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone. Go ahead Marc!!!
2006-07-15
11. Lukewarm - I am not going to comment on this man's personal life but I will comment on the music. We all have our faults and varying roads which we pursue. However, for lack of a better word, Marc has gotten "lazy". After any artist does a greatest hits album, its pretty much down hill from there. Marc is by far my favorite artist and in my opinion, the king of Salsa but he is a fading star and he will surely lose that title to these newer artists that are hungry i.e. Michael Stuart. The new songs on this album are mediocre at best and it's been two years since "Valio La Pena". Why wait two years for two lame songs? The compilation is nice if you haven't been following him but hard core Salseros and his established fans already have that stuff. It is just frustrating.
2006-07-15
12. Sing what you feel - I have followed this man since his first album and he always sang about what he felt in his alma. Since this is another attempt of recycling his old things, has he lost his soul? Has he lost his passion? Has he lost his desire to give back to the people that have made him the latino super power that he is? - Mi gente, solo puedo decir una palabra - Si!
2006-07-14
13. Sigo Siendo Yo - I don't why,but one of my favorite singers has lost his inspiration,even his voice sounds empty and with out inspiration. The compensation law will come around...You lost all of your blessings when you sold your soul for lack of a better word..YOU BROKE YOU BOWS and God will not be mock,and please don't wear that rosary around your neck is a godly simbol,you give catholics a bad name.
2006-07-13
14. Marc is still Marc.... - I can't believe someone would criticize Marc Anthony based on what he does in his personal life!!! We all go through various stages of relationships and marriages. Whatever happens in our personal lives is our business. I would never criticize his music. I'm going to his concert in weeks and I can't wait. He is an entertainer. If we held everyone accountable or their success based on their personal life decisions, we have no one to appreciate!!!!! When Marc does put out a CD, he puts out quality music! Its all about Quality, not quantity! I will always enjoy his music, no matter who is dating or is married to!
2006-07-12
15. I agree - I agree with NYChiquita, Marc Anthony has a beautiful voice and I want to hear Mr. Anthony belt out a beautiful ballad and/or move his petite body around the stage to a irresistible salsa that you can't help but to get up and dance to. So he divorced his wife and married Jennifer Lopez, that should have NO effect on his music or the way he sings it. I do think however, he should maybe spend a little more time picking out his material, lets back to the basics and make us swoon to your beautiful ballads and make us move our hips until we can’t stop to one of your infectious salsas.
2006-07-12
16. Marc Can Do No Wrong - I'm a year "young" puerto rican youth. And Marc is my role model. I love salsa and I have all his albums. All the way from Otra Nota to this One, even his compilations (just to have them even if i have all his cd's) to support him. I'm just going to comment on the two new songs. Que Precio Tiene El Cielo is just...wow. Excellent and the Lyrics are so powerful. The music is really vibrant and alive..a notch more rumba than any of the songs on Valio La Pena.I mean He always has those heart tugging songs that play with your emotions, his songs always have a climax. Even his ballads. Lo Que No Di, is a stringy classical with rock. Almost batman like gothic. It's awesome. On a note on Marc's salsa: Yea, i've heard people complain that marc's songs have to much dynamics for dancers because of the changes. Honestly, I don't care, that is what makes Marc special. Libre was his best salsa album. Any true music..and musician would appreciate all the different types of musical influences in there (the andino flutes in Barco a la Deriva..omg). This is Marc's staple, the slow start, the rising voice rage and the musical climax. Everyone should appreciate marc for his uniqueness and not trying to be so rumbero or just vocal like other salseros. He's actually in his own salsero class. All his songs...I Love 'em. Marc..congratulations. You are the King of Salsa..and also of ballads too. He's may not be a sonero a la Domingo Quinones or Victor Manuelle or have that jibaro voice, but he put salsa (even in english:ex. from his self title ' album Marc Anthony, titled: That's Okay) on the map for the whole world to enjoy. Marc, you are the Pride of Puerto Rico. And we all love you. God bless you.

1. Colombian Cumbia simply "The Best" - If you are into catchy, danceable cumbia music. This is a must in your collection. If you have not heard "Capullo y Sorullo", "Mi Cucu" or any of this tracks I simply don't know were have you been. From beginning to end is an enjoyable ride. Congratulations to Discos Fuentes whom started this band so many years ago.

1. why mix English and Spanish songs? - I am getting frustrating searching to buy Spanish music and find great songs but each album is ruined with English songs :( ... I can only buy single songs not entire albums because of the bilingual song mix :( ... oh I wish these Spanish singers would skip putting English songs on their albums and ruin the albums for Latin music lovers !

1. Legendary album! - This is not only one of Gloria Estefan's best albums, it is one of the greatest Latin albums. This album definitively secured her position as Latin music royalty. Most albums that attempt this type of retro approach to this genre of Latin music, if not covering old music, are not usually successful. This album managed to capture the classic timelessness with mostly original music. It's beautiful music that is passionate and uplifting with amazing lyrics and rhythm. It's an album that can be listened to in its entirety with every song being equally as enjoyable to listen to. This album help my generation have a whole new respect for the classics while becoming a classic itself.

3. One of her best, but where are the videos for this cd? - I speak only english and I'm from the states. I was never a fan of hers until this came out. This was real to me and I've been a fan ever since. I prefer the spanish stuff over the pop.....but that's just me....even though I don't understand a thing.

4. One of the all-time classics of Cuban music... - It's difficult to put my appreciation for this album into words. My friends know me as an avid music fan, and when asked me what CD I would take with me if relegated to a desert island, I instantly thought of Mi Tierra. Gloria's English language music, both during her stint with Miami Sound Machine and during her solo career, is good in a very commercial and ultimately disposable way. That's what makes Mi Tierra such a revelation. It's anything but disposable and really showcases Gloria as an organic talent. The songs sound beautiful, with careful and lush production and amazing lyrics. I don't know how the emotional intensity of the lyrics comes through for those who do not speak Spanish, but they are some of the most heartfelt and touching lyrics I've ever heard in songs. Most of the instruments are played perfectly by legends of Latin music, and whether a song is upbeat or a slow ballad, each song has amazing depth. This album helped me connect with my Cuban heritage and I recommend it to any fan of music, whether they're into Latin music or not. It's beautiful and timeless music.

5. A timeless, classic CD all languages can enjoy! - This was one of the first spanish-language cds I ever bought, and it's still one that I love to play. The music has such history behind it (if you take the time to look into the lyrics, etc), but aside from that, the songs are just tremendous. Great rhythm, great lyrics, great album! Que sigue la tradicion!
2007-10-03
6. Gloria's Best Work - My past exposure to the work of Gloria Estefan has been her pop music. While I enjoyed it, this work is in an entirely different league. The rhythms are oh-so-smooth. Her voice is perfect for this genre--it's her most expressive work, vocally. If you don't speak Spanish, get the CD at a record store so you can read along with they lyrics in English in the liner notes. This music is passion personified and the lyrics add yet another layer. Truly heartbreakingly beautiful!
2007-09-21
7. oh gloria - She's one of the most influential spanish artists of our day and she never stops pleasing. If you don't understand Spanish, or don't truly love this type of music it won't matter because this CD will make you love the language as well as Gloria. Turn the Beat Around' has nothing on this CD.

8. i LOVE this - i don't speak spanish (in fact, french is and will always be, my st love). nevertheless, this cd is DOPE and totally influential to spanish/pop music. if for whatever reason you don't want this album, definitely download tracks , , ...actually to hell with it. just buy the whole thing. you won't regret it.

2. Amazing Album - This new album is absolutely wonderful! El logro colaboraciones espectaculares en mi opinion. y con cada cancion se oye la utentidad musical de cada bachatero... de veras yo sin ver el titulo de la cancion ya sabia quien era el colaborador de la cancion con Romeo. La nueva cancion con Aventura absolutely wonderful as well ! No me canso de repetir el album completo .... Otro éxito especial para Romeo. i absolutely love this album

3. The Best gets Better - Been a fan of Aventura since so it's so dope that they came back with a smash hit after years apart. Love the album entirely he got the Avengers of traditional bachata and there's definitely something for everybody who loves bachata. Romeo has done it again, The King Stays King. Recommend: Immortal, La Demanda, Payasos, Canalla, Año Luz, Amor Enterrado and the whole album tf

1. Pretty Good. - This guy doesn't have much of a voice but then again neither does Kanye West & Drake (to name a few) and that hasn't stopped them from selling millions of records and having millions of fans. In truth, these days anyone who is creative enough to come up with some tracks with good hooks is able to make it popular. The media is pretty broad and it allows music to travel further than ever before. Omega is a now artist. Maybe he won't be like Wilfrido Vargas, Rubby Perez or Elvis Crespo but here in NYC where i'm at and where I spin as a DJ... He's what the people want. :))

2. Un Dominicano apoyando a El FUERTE - its is very depressing to see those two ordinaries comments about OMEGA, we love this singer, we love his music, and it is really dissapointed to see people from our culture talking garbage about our great Mambero Omega. you must be another mambero trying to dirty our best mambero omega. we are so happy that you are the number one mambero in the history of this music. you are raising our music to the top. we want you to come to the United States and make a big concert in The Madison Square Garden. We would love to see that. apoyo desde Iraq, Eddie Correa cuando es que vas aponer los videos pa comprarlos, chambonea, tu siquieres, merengue electronico
2010-08-30
3. So sad. - It is very depressing to actually know that this guy has any followers. This "musician" have defecated all over the merengue music. He has no identity, no knowledge of music and no talent. Everyone in the Dominican Republic knows that there is something else going on behind this figure, hopefully it will come to an end soon, because no one can make for too long without talent. Es muy triste y lamentable saber que este "musico" tiene una fanaticada. Este es un hombre sin talento,sin identidad propia y por encima de todo carece de intelecto.Apostaria todo lo que tengo a que este hombre nunca ha leido un libro o por lo menos se ha graduado de bachiller (sin comprar diploma). Estoy en mis treinta y da pena la comformidad musical y el amor al prosaismo de algunas personas.

4. Great album - So basically this album is great. I don't understand what people are talking about he can sing and you don't understand him ok so kc and jojo can't sing then or Louie Armstrong can't sing then. The album is great and people must have a hidden problem. star are you serious !!!!!! But anyways get this album if you like merengue and mambo thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Omega El Fuerte - I am a omega's fan. I love his music, i wish you the best in your career , hoping that when you get to go to NYC, i can be there in front of you watching your performance. Omega porque no pones videos tuyos en itunes, estamos eperando el video shorty que nunca salio, y chambonean debiste de haberlo tirado directo a itunes antes de que lo pusieran en todas las paginas. Admiro tu musica, tienes letras sentimiento , calle, vacaneria, mujeres , licor. pero sobre todo se te nota que eres bien amigo de Dios, espero que le hagas una alabanza al senor, el lo necesita de ti. y tambien como hombre e aprendido que en la vida uno tropieza y simepre te puedes levantar, hacia adelanate Omega, te has convertido en el idolo Dominicano por tu gran labor en la musica

6. Absolutely a great CD !!!! - No habia escuchado un cd de este genero en yearrssss ... un tipo original pa' mi. the first time i heard one of his songs i was .. who is thiss guy ??? they wouldnt tell his name.. weeks i waited patiently ... hahha finally i found it on itunes ... the lyrics r pretty real, down to earth .. pa' adelante EL FUERTE..

7. romyn - Powerful...... about time the world gets to hear what the next sound is the Major Latin radio station don't play Omega on its hour rotation in the US.....and Omega is not on the new york radio chart. but who cares we don't need Fm radio station to listen to omega we have the internet. and that is why Omega is on the itunes charts!....love it Omega is the best mambero. el cata is cool .! we need more mambero on itunes...

1. Fond Memories - This album brings me back to my childhood days. Raised in Miami, Florida and part of a Cuban-American family; the backdrops to our family parties consisted of great Latin music. This album is a glimsp of those fond memories. It has catchy tunes with great dance beats, as well as mellow songs for those slow dances. Its a great party cd if you've got your dancing shoes!

2. Clasico! - Juan Luis Guerra y . have been incredibly influential in furthering Dominican music around the globe, and this album, with their greatest hits, is a must buy. Juan Luis Guerra y . han sido extremadamente importantes en la difusión de la música dominicana en todo el mundo. Este álbum, con sus grandes éxitos, es obviamente necesario en cualquier colección de música.

3. Juan Luis Guerra y Grande Exitos - My most favorite Album/CDs of ALL Time. Every track is great. Guavaberry is my ultimate favorite followed by Bachata Rosa, Burbujas de Amor, Ojala Que Llueve Cafe, La Bilrrubina... I play thiis entire album on my ITunes every day. Guavaberry's play count on my computers exceeds ,., not including the CD in the car. I feel the sun and warmth of blue skies, crystal blue water and moonlit breezes when I listen to each track. And I sing each song -- Guavaberry, the loudest. Now, if I could only speak and understand spanish. This is my Favorite, over Luther and Marvin even.

4. Great Album, Too Many Scratches - I just bought this album off iTunes and am very dissapointed with the quality of the tracks. There are lots of scratches and it skips enough to bother, especially on the last few songs. What a bummer. iTunes has never let me down before, it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Other than that, this CD is just what it claims to be, a great introduction to some of Juan Luisa Guerra's best work. You can't help but feel good listening to it.

5. Amazing album, - Juan Luis creates a merengue that not only borderlines on poetry but whose lirics create s social concience, Not to mention that this album is wonderful to dance to, whether you are an avid merengue dancer or if you are simply learning, this album will tickle your hips to the rythem of the tropics.

1. Best Latin album ever made - This is the best Latin album ever made. You can dance to it, you can sing with it, and you can do both at the same time. I love this album and as iTunes most known reviewer I have no problem giving this album stars. Marc Anthony has the voice of Josh Groban and probably has the best male voice currently and of the past years

Esta re bueno! - I grew up in Argentina listening to "cuarteto", this gender not in iTunes yet:) but anyways people, don't complaint about the beat and the drums and the same rythm, it is all about the drums and the similar beats!!! That's why this world have a wide variety music styles, from tango to reggeaton... or whatever.. Just Identify yourself with one, we have to learn to hear or feel the difference, sometimes it goes beyond the ears...:)

1. Perfect Fifth - Most of Prince Royce’s career as a singer and songwriter has been dedicated to bachata, but with an open window letting in subtle flavors from outside. The Bronx-born son of Dominican parents, Royce has released albums in Spanish and English, switching back and forth with a dexterity undoubtedly fueled by the mental proximity of parallel vocabularies. On his fifth studio album, a collection of solo and duet love songs (mostly in Spanish), his chemistry has never been better. Start with "Déjà Vu," a jaw-dropping duet with Shakira—voices combining in a combustible mix of bitter experience, seduction and surrender—that brings R&B to bachata: “Who can speak of love and defend it/Please raise your hand,” they sing, throbbing with every string pluck and bongo tap, “If anyone is going to talk about love/I can assure you it won’t be me” (the track is also on Shakira’s album El Dorado). In the solo "La Carretera" (The Road), Royce’s silky tenor carries the sting of breakup: “Oncoming headlights shine like stars in a sky of pain/Where are you?/Do you still think about me?” Also revolving around an ex, "Moneda" (Unlucky Coin) is a norteño/bachata duet with the Mexican-American artist Gerardo Ortiz: “Without you I’m worth nothing/Like a bad coin thrown into a fountain.” There’s much more (the album’s deluxe edition has tracks), including two classic bachatas that pull the heartstrings in opposite directions—the innocent "Culpa al Corazón" (Blame the Heart) and the dulcet cardio-heist "Asalto" (Stick-Up)—plus the reggaeton-tinged duet "Ganas Locas" (Mad Desire) with the Puerto Rican singer Farruko. At , Royce already has more than music awards and nominations, but apparently his only gear is Up.—worldlisteningpost.com

1. The first three songs don't sound like it is Gilberto Santa Rosa - I've been a fan of Gilberto Santa Rosa for many years now and have always enjoyed his music, but in this album the singer of the first three songs (. Vivir Sin Ella, . Perdóname, and . Conciencia) does not sound like Gilberto Santa Rosa.
2012-01-17
2. His best form these days are his old hits. Go for the older material. - The swing is gone, unfortunately, from modern day Gilberto. It is a shame, he is truly one of the best. His younger, more vibrant work is what still makes him shine! Example, check out the song "Busca Lo Tuyo" that he did with The Puerto Rico All-Stars on the "Tribute To The Messiah" record or "Cantante De Cartel", "Sin Un Amor". Step into the older gems, you'll be glad you did. I could not believe that he had music like that in his his archives.

1. again too many songs in English :( - I love Latin music and do not buy any songs in English.. again an album with too many songs in English... why this mixture???.. it drives me crazy and prevents me from buying. I am Latin music lover and hate any songs in English on the albums. ... so it looks I can only buy single songs and never an entire album because Prince Royce ruins every Spanish album with a few songs in English :(... I am giving up on this artist ... there are others with ALL songs in Spanish ! Don't mix... make it in E or Sp and we can buy the full album without wasted songs.

1. Music to My Ears - It's true, this album seems to have only one tempo, but I still love Marc Anthony's voice. One of a kind in the world. No one has ever come close to the quality of voice he owns. Every word every change in tonality is there for you to enjoy. As always this album is a treasure. He is Truly Unique.
2020-02-25
2. Honest Opinion....It will grown on you! - At first I was turned off by the lack of multiple soneo's (which has become a pattern in his music) and other than the two songs on his videos, the other songs on the album seemed (at least to me) to take a less of a risk by not departing to far from what we have come to expect from him. BUT! I recently I let the album play (on repeat) in the background for a few hours and.... somehow I now get it and love it! It's an adquired taste, but once it sets in, and although this seems like a contridiction, you will love it as much as any of his other past albums. Marc is here to stay..Thank God!

3. djayclasico - soy amante de la Salsa Clasica pero cuando llega Marc tambien soy amante de la salsa romantica en especial al estilo de el. Soy un critico realista de la musica y admiro el trabajo de este vocalista Boricua que a mantenido la escencia de la verdadera musica compitiendo con la "porqueria" que se escucha hoy por doquier. Estoy esperando por la nueva generacion a ver si retorna a la verdadera esencia de la musica, lirica grata al oido y sonido que endulza el alma. adelante Marc, nuevamente te botaste; para mi eres la mejor voz de las ultimas decadas. excelente trabalo.

4. One of Salsa’s greatest doesn’t disappoint - Lyrics are really outstanding and all around just great . Marc is original and digs deep as always try’s to make fans happy and to be honest always does .Long live salsa and thank you for great music and all the work you put into it ;) fan from day one..Always excited when he puts out new music .

Esto es musica - Gracias a dios escuchar algo realmente bueno porque en estos años solo piensa el mundo que la musica latina es solo regueton y tenemos que apoyar a los demas jeneros porque latinoamerica no es solo regueton . viva la musica y apoyemos alos verdaderos cantantes que si cantan no nadamas asen musica con buen ritmo.

You are the best bachateiro in the world. Amo muito seu trabalho e a cada entrevista me torno mas fã do seu trabalho, so excited to see your concert in Atlanta GA.
The world is yours...

2. Admire His Talent. GOD of Bachata…... - This guy has true talent. He was born for this. He owns bachata. Dominates the competition. True KING, I been a fan since first Aventura Album. I wish i get to meet this guy one day just to say His music has true impact in my Life. I live and breath This music. Please Never STOP…..

3. I Need This In My Life Vol. - Dawg I was the First In Vol.. I guess more and more fans are believing in supporting ROMEO. Which is awesome!!! Finally! Most Anticipated Album is here. ROMEO Alway try to push and see how far he can take our beloved Bachata. Since, I heard Formula Vol I immidiately couldn't wait to hear of what's next. Addiction, that what I have to call it. I truely "Need this in my life". The LYRICS, I don't know how he does it but like ALWAYS incredible. This is just another GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Album. Just like my review in vol , can't wait for Vol or maybe you hinting that it will be an AVENTURA album. What ever it is it will be the bombs!!!
2014-03-03
4. VERY DISSAPOINTED: Formula was MUCH Better - Definitely not his best work...
Only Songs worth buying:
-Propuesta Indecente
-Yo Tambien
-Odio
The rest, I felt were songs that weren't good enough to be put on Formula Volume ...
The tittle should be "The Leftovers"
...That song about No Tiene culpa is pure garbage. Sounds like it was just put on there to win favor with the gays and sell more records...
I expected much better quality.
IF FORMULA was a
FORMULA is a .

5. I'm at / with this album - Definitely better than Vol. a round of applause for that . A lot less tracks that I don't care for than the first album. I was expecting the track with Tego to be different ( sad face), of course the track with the one and only Marc Anthony was flawless , Odio feat Drake - I really didn't care for Drake's second verse , Animales feat. Nicki Minaj - blah...ehh...I don't know...just not my favorite , track with Santana - yes, yes and yes . There's no such thing as a bad song with him in it...just doesn't exist. For the rest of the tracks, yay! Bringing back the Aventura feel which is much appreciated! Overall, this album is a step up from the first. I guess it's safe to say that the following album will be even better?
2014-02-25
6. truly breaking barriers. Romeo broke the rules again - Romeo demonstrates why he is the king. I love how drake stayed true to his own style in bachata. The collaboration is phenomenal. In my opinion Drake sounds better in Spanish than in English. I am hooked on this song. I think I hear it at least times a day with my brother and girlfriend. If i don't hit repeat, they will hit repeat too. lol It is safe to say that we are all hooked.

1. Great CD! This was done from the original master tapes!! - This is awesome! Alfredo de La Fe did all of the violin work here. Yomo Toro is great too. All the flute work was done by Octavio Cortez. The Christmas mix is : minutes of non-stop jamming salsa with PRODIGIO CLAUDIO on cuatro. WOW! This whole mix record is great. Download it all! BTW, I-tunes just posted PRODIGIO's best CD called "Prodigio's Delights". Check it out! I just found another EL GRAN COMBO RE-MIX. Check out SECRETO (formally of Sancocho- Tumba La Casa) and his "Por Fin Llego...Secreto" CD. EL GRAN COMBO and Secreto did a reggaeton version of "Mujer Celosa". Slamming!!!!

2. GUD ALBUM BUT NOT GIVIN DA STAR SO QUICK - Aventura r K.O.B. a reason. every song they make ends up being a hit. i love their muzik but i didnt gave their album a cuz it gots old songs n they in live concert. if the songs werent in concert ill give it a no nd though bout it. their songs r gud its just dat dey got dat included which kinda kills it. Aventura r K.O.B. n nuttin can change dat. i got conciencia, mi corazoncito, los infieles, n el perdedor since almost everythin else i already got.

3. Obsesion con Aventura - This album is simply incredible. It contains new AND old songs and it proves that Aventura is amazing live. Romeo has the most gorgeous voice on the planet but Lenny, Mikey, and Henry are also extremely talented. Some of the skits add humor to that album; the Romeo skit at the end of 'Hermanita' is HILARIOUS. This album is definitely worth the money! If only iTunes had some Aventura music videos.....
2007-02-25
4. Aventura is the hottest thing in bachata right now!! - I love Aventura! Not only are they talented, their dominican,and the have a sexy lead singer! The majority of their songs are great. It's just as good to listen to them on a cd than to see them live! Anyone who loves bachata should get their album.

1. Feels good to the heart and - His songs are so relaxing and at the same time, make you want to dance bachata. I don’t understand spanish that much but it doesn’t matter. The beat, melody, and the lyrics are really good. My favorites are Las Cosas Pequeñas, Stand by me, Corazon Sin Cara and El Amor que Perdimos.

2. My daughters thoughts on this album - My daughter loves his music and she thinks that Prince Royce's music inspires many people do think in one way or another.
She said that in the song las cosas pequenas talks about every little thing counts as love weather is a hug a kiss a text etc. And to also not take thins for granted

1. NYC SALSA!! - I’m a Marc Anthony fan for decades and I JUST discovered this fabulous album. This is straight NYC (his hometown) salsa. Not pop but the classic type stuff that we grew up with and danced to in the Bronx. You MUST get this album if you love Marc but better yet love salsa. This is a album and his voice has not sounded like this on any other album; as beautiful as it still is, so buy this and get lost in the beauty of it.
2022-05-19
2. Marc's Masterpiece - A good artist...or Great artist..always has a DEFINING ALBUM: the one that stands out from the others. It trandsends time and music. Michael Jackson, for example, had Thriller. "Libre" is the album DEFINING ALBUM in Marc Anthony's musical shelf. It is the Platinum Jewel of his collection. ANY RESPECTED MUSICAL DISCIPLE will be able to recognize and appreciate the manifestation of the distinct latin rhythms that have been masterfully interwoven and orquestrated to produce such exceptional music. This album is one of the finest I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. His emotion, his voice are so clear and strong that you don't need to understand the words to understand what Marc is trying to convey. Marc forgoes the safety of the more conventional salsa sounds, Libre adds spice and variety while preserving the cultural significance of his music. All the songs are worthy of the highest praise for their lyrics and musical arragements. Also amazingly enough all are incredibly danceable. I absolutely recommend and Love this album, above all others in Marc's collection because it is the best example of how latin rhythms can be successfully combined while the distinction of each rhythm is still heard. The genre here is clearly SALSA but there are hints of other latin rhythm woven into this beautiful latin canvas such as: vallenato, cha-cha-cha and other afro-caribbean signatures. Marc Anthony has exercised his musical creativity to his utmost potential and out from this unique talent has produced a musical masterpiece!

YO NO SE COMO ESTE GRUPO ES POPULAR, PARA MI ES UN ROMPECABEZA! ME PARECES QUE ESTO ES MUSICA PARA LOS ADOLESENTES ( - ANOS DE EDAD).
DEFINIETLY NOT FOR ME. WHERE ARE THE NEW GOLDEN VOICES OF THIS GENERATION? WHERE'S THE NEXT CHEO FELICIANO, OR FERNANDITO VILLALONA? IT PUZZLES ME THAT THIS GROUP IS POPULAR. SEEMS TO ME THAT NOWADAYS NOT MUCH ATTENTION GOES INTO THE VOICES. R&B HAD THE TOPS, AND BOYZ MEN. "MERENGUE ROMANTICO" HAD FERNANDITO VILLALONA, AND TONO ROSARIO, IN BACHATA THERE'S ANTONY SANTOS, AND FRANK REYES, AND NOW THERE'S THIS?! SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC FOR 'TEENS. I GAVE THIS A RATING OF ONLY BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE IT A ZERO . LOOK FOR REAL MUSIC ELSWHERE, SOMETHING MORE COMPLETE THAT HAS GOOD ARRANGEMENTS, LYRICS, AND A GOOD SINGING VOICE.

2. Stranded island question - If you were stranded in an island and you could take one album which would it be?
My answer: "We Broke the Rules"-Aventura
I was in th grade when i first heard this album and i cried like no other. This album in my opinion is the best Aventura album so far! All the songs are awesome. Even "Mi Puerto Rico" and im not even Puertorican. In this cd, they really let the world know what they can do. The potential they all have, espacially Romeo as a writer. The melodys and beats are rich and passionate, as are the lyrics. I can talk about this album all day, so to cut it short i % recomend it!

1. No Good DJ - To Mr DJ EZ... you really have to be a very bad Dj to think Grupo Niche is better than Andy Montañez and Cheo Feliciano!!... OMG, This line up is one of the best ones put together... awsome!...
AND DJ EZ.... Change professions or get another hubby, cause if you think Victor Manuel is better than Tito Nieves you obvioully are in the wrong business

2. Where is victor manuelle?? - without victor manuelle, this is a waste. I respect this compilation and enjoyed it very much. Buy it because its worth it. I giving only one star because victor manuelle has single-handedly maintained salsa for the young generation for the past years. Marc falls asleep for years at a time while victor has hit after hit. It's a shame he isn't on this.

3. Great Production - Thank you Sergio for at least putting something together, as it's been a while we haven't seen anything in a while! Pay no mind to DJ EZ or his frustration
He wasn't even around when we listened and danced to Fania and Alegre Allstars! He mentions Victor M who definitely will go down as one of the best just like Domingo Q, but please don't compare them the people who put Salsa on the map in the Country when the doors were closed in Cuba! Johnny Pacheco and company made it happen along with some that are no longer with us. DJ EZ please show some love to a brother like Sergio who is trying to keep our music alive! Peace to all! Que Viva la Salsa!

5. A little light but catchy... - I'm a big fan of Sergio George and have followed his productions closely. Very excited to see this live endeavor and great music with great artists. Para celebrar seems very catchy and festive. Still a little light on substantive soneos especially in light of the presence of DeLeon, Canario and Montañez. Still a great tune and quite exciting to see Marc, Luis Enrique and others together. Looking forward to the film.

1. This Album is good but itunes forgot a track - This album is one of the best from aventura but iTunes forgot the track your lying which features Nina Sky, don't believe me ? Check wikipedia, Imeem, and LaLa. And in the song Ceigo De Amor, its featuring Antony santos not Anthony Santos, his name is straight from DR i get tired of these corpations making hispanic names into american pronunciation.

2. All of their music is great! - This group knows how to pump out great music. For another great bachata record from top to bottom, check out "Penas De Amor" by JUAN LAN FRANCO. This guy sang with PRIMITIVO SANTOS in the 's and had a real big hit with the song "POEMA". A freind turned me on to him and now I'm doing the same. The whole "Penas De Amor" record is great. If you are looking for something new and fresh to to add to your collection, then step into that record. you won't regret it. Cheers!!!!

1. Awsome Colombian Cumbia Collection - These collections are a great find. Tracks are well chosen samples of cumbias through the years. A must have for the latin dance enthusiast. The only thing I would disagree with is the title, there is much more than cumbias with these sets. Although the majority of it has cumbia roots, some tracks can be considered "musica tropical", what we Colombians call tropical music. Never the less, a star collection. So nice to see Disco Fuentes on iTunes.

2. Classic and Timeless. - I remember as a kid hearing these tracks roar in the background..at the time I was thinking what the hell is that? ..Years later, I am now -rediscovering it and wow, just wow! These tracks are for those tracking our latino musical roots...especially the song "Amor de mis Amores" arguably one of the best tracks!

1. LOS EXTRAÑO MUCHO - It’s been so long since I haven’t listened to my culture music and I feel sad. I don’t know why I drifted from music in general, maybe because of my life problems and within myself. I’m just glad I’m reconnecting again especially with my culture music. I never been more happier. It’s so nostalgic. Aventura were a part of my life growing up and they will forever be a part of my life. I will always love my culture music I will always love you AVENTURA

1. POR FIN!!! ESTO LO QUE ESPERABA DEL GRAN COMBO! - ESTE ALBUM LES QUEDO SUPER-BUENO! DESPUES DE TANTO TIEMPO GRABARON ALGO CON VARIEDAD EN LAS TEMAS Y CON BUENOS ARREGLOS. ESTA GRABACION ES BUENO DESDE EL PRINCIPIO HASTA EL FINAL. HAY QUE TENERLO! ESTA GRABACION ES COMO LAS GRABACIONES DE EL GRAN COMBO DE ANTANO('S - ) TIENE SABOR Y ES COMO LOS CLASICOS. BRAVO GRAN COMBO! PARECES QUE LE HECHARON "VIAGRA" A SU MUSICA! JA-JA-JA! THIS ALBUM IS GREAT! AFTER A LONG TIME THE GRAN COMBO FINALLY RECORDED SOMETHING WITH VARIOUS THEMES AND GOOD ARRANGEMENTS. THIS ALBUM IS GOOD AND SOLID FROM START TO FINISH. YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE THIS ONE IN YOUR COLLECTION. THIS ALBUM IS LIKE ONE OF THEIR "OLD-SCHOOL" CLASSICS. THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD IT'S AS IF THESE GUYS PUT "VIAGRA" INTO THEIR MUSIC. LOL! GREAT ALBUM!

2. Not much to rave about. Still love em though!!!!! - This album has the same tired sound as their last few. Where is the monster that is waiting to come out guys. Please GRAN COMBO, surprise your loyal fans with a good record!!!!!!!!! In the meantime I will pick up on your many old classic songs. The one to start with folks is SALSA CLASSICS REVISITED. This will give you the true UNIVERSIDAD DE LA SALSA education. Other artists still making music need to go back to school as well. Learn from the best when they were truly great!!!!!!!!!!

3. Read The name folks EL GRAN COMBO!!!! Y Punto ! - What a great album as they continue to prove why and how when salsa is done right its here forever! Right now my favorite songs off the bat are Sin Salsa No Hay Paraiso and Columbia Terria Querida. Its great to hear Achilipu bought back to life , But honestly somethings are just ment to be left alone id stay with with the original ( Andy Montanez version) and or hear it live when these SALSA GODS perform! I also wish Raphael Ithier had recorded on this album, But nothing lasts forever... Que Viva Nuestra Bandera Musical.. Gran Combo De Puerto Rico Por Siempre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
