CD ReviewsClasssic album of Puerto Rico's Plenas and Bombas. 06/11/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd provides buyers with some of the best interpretations of Puerto Rico's Plenas and Bombas by the late great singer/composer/ musician/arranger Mon Rivera and the legendary multitalented Willie Colon. The best musicians were used in this recording and Salsa stars such as the late Hector Lavoe provide background vocals. A must buy for those who like Afrocaribbean/Puerto Rican music!" Oh, WOW! Carolyn Downing | 11/08/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you love boricua, you'll love this one! Words can't describe! Buy it!" Interesting approach to Afro-Puerto Rican music Roberto Jimenez | Tampa, FL USA | 10/01/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "On this CD, you will hear Willie Colon's powerful band, backed up by Rubén Blades and Héctor Lavoe on chorus, exploring the two main Afro-Puerto Rican genres: "bomba" & "plena", with the master plenero Mon Rivera on vocals. Also, featuring on timbales and "quinto" is "Kako" Bastar. So, in terms of the sound, is as powerful as it gets.
My only complaint is that Willie didn't risk much on this one: he didn't take the Afro-Boricua rhythms to new grounds; he stuck pretty much to the traditional sound (with Afro-Cuban instrumentation, of course). He did come up with interesting stuff (listen to Mosaico #2), but apart of that, he didn't give his imagination room on this one. Still, this is a must have if you are into Salsa or Afro-Caribbean music, as I am. "Pena de amor" and "Ya llegó" are classics." |
