"Definitely the hottest of all recent releases of Humberto Corredor & Sergio Bofill's "COBO" label. "SON BORICUA" is a group of veteran Puerto Rican salsa musicians, who form a hot recording studio ensemble. Great vocals by former Tico/ Fania salsero singer Jimmy Sabater, Jose Mangual, Jr. Frankie Morales, Ada Chabrier, joined for this recording sessions by Hiram De Jesus, Jr. on piano, Eddie Montalvo,congas, Papo Pepin, bongoes, Louie Arona, bass and last but not least, A.J.Mantas a real ace of the vibe! This terrific group, quickly reminds the listener of the Joe Cuba's 1960's great combo. "Bomba, Calipso y Plena", "Maquino Landera", "Volare"(spanish version), "Las Caras Lindas", "Boricua Blues", "El Negro Bembon", "Las Ingratitudes (my favorite), "Con La Punta Del Pie", "Cortijo-Rivera", "Descarga Son Boricua" and "Volare" (english version), all make this CD one of the hottest releases of the new millenium, under the direction of Jose Mangual, Jr!"

Exquisito suceso!!!

"As I was expected, these bunch of amazing guys just "descargan" the best music style, which remind me Joe Cuba's calssic style in new sounds. Jimmy Sabater's voice is the typical "nostalgic sonero" who delivers all his amazing talent on all songs of this Cd. I highly recommend this Cd for new and old salseros. Son Boricua bring us back into the best time of son and salsa with its promminent master piece!. Must have Cd for any salsero worldwide."
