"Maelo is one of the true salseros of all time. His voice and style of music attracted thousands at a time. There are no words that can explain the way sang. Hits like Las Caras Lindas// La Tumba// and many more put him on the spotlight and his time and until this day. There isn't a day that goes by without me hearing a record or at least one or more songs by Maelo. He is truly missed til this day. RIP and much love"

"Proporciona un excelente vistazo al trabajo realizado entre los dos grandes de la música popular puertoriqueña. Rafael Cortijo - Ismael Rivera. Contiene los éxitos más bailados y además incluye un tema inédito EL CHORIZO el cual no se incluye en ningún LP conocido dentro de la colección total de Ismael Rivera. RUBEN DARIO BETANCURT B. CALI COLOMBIA"

"This is great CD for anyone that like Ismael' music. But it's not his traditional salsa disc. Ists more a guaracha or conga rithm."
Just Great!!!!

"Panamanians, Zonians, if you remember carnival and toldos, this is a must have for those of us who just long to be there again. Every song is great. This CD is worth every penny of its price!!!!!!"

"Pese a su muerte, hoy sigue y seguira siendo uno de los tantos precursores del boom salsero en Latinoamerica. Sus temas perduraran en todos y cada uno de los amantes de nuestra salsa vieja."
