"RMM Records did a very good job in this re-edition of songs recorded in Cuba by Celeste Mendoza during the 60's. The sound of these recordings is great and Celeste's musical tribute to the late cuban singer Beny More entitled "Desaparecio El Montero" is included in this 12 song compilation. However due to the importance of these recordings and their hard to get or nearly impossible to find statusoutside of Cuba,before this and other similar re-editions by other labels, I think RMM should've included more songs in this CD, for example 15 or 16 hits instead of just 12. However this is still a great sounding CD of great songs by the late cuban diva."
