"Raphie Leavitt's Orquesta La Selecta is one of the longest-running Puerto Rican salsa bands. This compilation contains such classics as "El Volantin", "A Tropezon", "Siempre Alegre", "El Fogon", "Declaracion Musical" and "Perla Mala". While La Selecta's popularity never matched that of Leavitt's fellow bandleaders Willie Rosario, Bobby Valentin, Roberto Roena and Tommy Olivencia it's still a much-revered band. This 2-CD set is chock-full of great and heavy-duty Puerto Rican salsa."
