"This was definitely a great collection of old collaboration partners of Tito Puente as well as new rising stars. You can't go wrong with this CD in your collection. From the powerful "Dejame Sonar" by Tony Vega, to the soft and smooth tunes of "Bolero Medley", this CD is a pleasureable listening experience"

Great Salsa DANCE Music

"There's great salsa music and there is great salsa dance music. As any dedicated dancer looking for good music knows, you can't trust a non-dancer to tell what salsa music is great for dancing as opposed to just listening. As a dedicated dancer always in search of good dance music I can say without reservation that this is one of the best salsa dance CDs you can buy. It's a tribute to the late Tito Puente for his 100th full length album. Its got a great all star cast including Oscar d'Leon, Celia Cruz, Tito Nieves, Jose Alberto and others all backed up by Puentes infectious rhythms that make it impossible to sit still. My three favorites: Salsumba, El 100, and Dejame Sonar. The only song that's not suitable for salsa dancing is the Bolero Medley, but hey it's not salsa. The cuban son on the album is a good practice tune for beginners just getting the hang of the beat since it has a true salsa/son rhythm at a nice slow tempo. If your a dancer, buy it!"
