Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Immensely entertaining if scattershot, The Rough Guide to Salsa Dance, a wide-ranging, filler-free introduction to the salsa tradition, samples four decades' worth of music from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia and, of course, New York's Fania stable (where it first exploded in the 1970s). With its intensely percolating blend of melodic vigour, horn-motivated harmony, jazzy improvisation, polyrhythmic percussion and soulful sense of celebration, Latin music at its best is arguably the world's most enjoyably complex form of dance music. The anthology ranges from the early-60s Cuban boogaloo of Joe Cuba to Sierra Maestra's classic son (from whence salsa evolved) to seventysomething Celia Cruz's relentless energy. Sophisticated arrangements by Fania star Willie Colon, inventive pianist Charlie Palmieri,and young trombone upstart Jimmy Bosch offset the kicking sounds of La Misma Gente ("Raquel") and Dominican-born singer Jose Alberto. --Richard Gehr

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent buy - a must for every salsa-holic!, 16 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This compilation is unbelievably good and a real treat for the Salsa addict. EVERY single track on this is great to listen to and even better to dance to. This will make you want to get up and shake your stuff! If you don't have this, you're missing out. (Watch out for Jimmy Bosch's excellent 'Descargarana').
