"Justo is one of THEE best salsa singers ever. He has a range for boleros and guaguanco's. Check out the guajiras. This guy can make you dance and make you cry."
This 1972 release made Justo a superstar sonero.

"Released in 1972, this album made it very clear that Justo was one of the greatest salsa soneros ever. Its title track became Justo's signature song and made him a salsa superstar. "Caracas Tiene Su Guaguanco", "Oyeme Cantar", "Guaguanco 'Ta Moderno", "Lagrimas Y Tristezas" and the title track all bear witness to Justo's greatness as a sonero. This CD is truly a 1970s salsa essential."
"FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT SON BY FOUR/ FRANKIE NEGRON AND JERRY RIVERA, ok justo is maybe not good looking, or have a high pitch voice, but he knows what salsa mean, and Pa' Bravo yo is something!!!! Have you ever heard of the word Sonero!!! "Oyeme Cantar" is a really good example of what sonear is...Justo show is improvising skills, and trust me he knows his stuff...so two words for all salsa fans, BUY IT!!! he have a powerfull band, really tight and it's a cd you need in your collection!!!"
Hay que hacerle justicia!!!!

"No tengo la menor duda que esta grabacion de 1972 es el mejor disco del gran Justo Betancourt. Lamentablemente el sonido del CD deja mucho que desear. Aca si escuchamos a un Justo soneando como nunca y con canciones exactas para su voz. Cuando lo oimos sentimos nostalgia, alegria, ganas de bailar, etc. Altamente Recomendables: Pa bravo yo, Una audiencia muerta (magnifico ejemplo de chachacha), Cataño, Caracas tiene su guaguanco, Lagrimas y tristezas (tremendo bolerazo!!!). Con este disco Justo puso su nombre en lo más alto de la historia de la salsa. Comprenlo."
Justo Betancourt's masterpiece...remastered.

"Many thanks to Emusica Records (Fania's new owner) for reissuing and properly remasteriong this landmark album on CD. Whereas the previously available Cd was transferred directly from an LP record this new reissue was made from the original masters--with much better sound quality on all ten tracks. This was the album that made Justo betancourt a Salsa superstar--and one that shall remain a classic...forever. Buy it now if you don't yet have it!!!"
