No serious 1970s salsa fan should be without this CD.

"Sammy Gonzalez and Papo Sanchez were undeniably at the top of their game as salsa soneros on this 1976 release with Gonzalez giving some of his most memorable vocals on the hot guaguanco tracks "Que Me Castigue Dios", "Fea", "La Hija De La Vecina" and "A Bailar Mi Bomba" while the classic hit "Mi Desengano" immortalized Sanchez. Of course, it goes without saying that this band's musicians were among the best to be found anywhere and if you are into 1970s salsa your library should NOT be without this classic."

Highly recommended album

"Lucky Seven is a great album that shows the great musicianship of Roberto Roena and his Apollo Sound at their peak. It has the classic tracks Mi Desengaño, Que Ma Castigue Dios and Hija de La Vecina plus a few other.



This recording is beautifully remastered and it sounds better than the original LP which sounded slightly congested. Kudos to the folks of Emusica they got this one right. Hopefully they will release Roberto Roena and his Apollo Sound 9 soon with the same type of care this was done."
