"The Cheetah nightclub was one of NYC's most popular salsa nightclubs and many of today's salsa legends regularly performed there. This is "Live Salsa" at its hottest and best. Cheo Feliciano's version of "Anacaona" is truly mind-blowing and Adalberto Santiago's "Descarga Fania" is superb. On "Quitate Tu", the singers all try to outdo each other and the very fact that said tracks has so many great soneros together is enough to buy this CD."
The birth of Salsa.

"This newly remastered reissue offers both better sound quality than the previously available CD and extensive liner notes. Of course, it goes without saying that this album is extremely important and a must for your CD library. By itself, the Adalberto Santiago-fronted "Descarga Fania" merits buying this CD but Cheo Feliciano's immortal "Anacaona" and the all-out son montuno jam "Quitate Tu" are also timeless classics. One of the albums that defined "Salsa"."
