Search - Olga Tanon :: Fuego en Vivo, Vol. 1

Much better than her last Live Album

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you compare "Fuego en Vivo" to her 1st live album "Olga Viva, Viva Olga" you will clearly see that "Fuego en Vivo" is her best live album. The song selection is much superior than "Olga Viva". Why? Because on "Olga Viva" she really had 10 of her hits live and the other 4 songs consisted of some really crappy boogaloos such as the Boogaloo medley and "ah ah O-no". Then there were those 2 horrendous album fillers "El Papel de Malo" and "Viva la Musica"



But with "Fuego en Vivo" she really outdid herself. You will find her singing songs from her very first solo album, "Sola" which is refreshing since those were true merengue classics that defined who Olga is today. There are many medleys on "Fuego en Vivo" and I think this was the best way to encompass so many hits she's had throughout her long career.



The sounds/instrumentation quality is awesome and you can really hear the "punch" that one reviewer here mentioned that was lacking from her first live effort.



All in all, it is definitely worth the buy."
