"If you own "Solo", then you must also buy "Fantasmas". Those two albums are Willie's best solo projects. On "Solo" the instrumentals Chinacubana, Colonizaciones and Julia are superb (especially Chinacubana). The song "Juancito" tells a familiar story as does "Mentiras Tuyas". I love the entire album. I love the length of the songs and even if you do not speak Spanish (fortunately for me I do), you will appreciate the crisp clarity of the timbales, bongos, congas, tumbadoras and horn section throughout both albums. "Solo" is definitely a Latin/Jazz classic which belongs in everyone's collection. If you buy "Solo", get "Fantasmas" too. You won't be disappointed."
