(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 1995 re-issued compilation is by far the best sounding, if not the best compilation of late 40's and early 50's hit by the famed cuban Conjunto Casino directed by Roberto Espi. The leading vocalist on these cuban "Panart" label recordings was the great late sonero/bolerista Roberto Faz. At that time this conjunto was "star studded". Roberto Faz, Orlando Vallejo, Felo Martinez and Roberto Espi on vocals. "El Negro Vivar", lead trumpet, Carlos "Patato"Valdes on congas, "Chicuelo" on bongoes, Nico Cevedo on piano, etc.etc. The CD contents cannot be beaten, top classic hits like: "Agua Pa'Mi","La Mona","Carnaval en Camaguey", "El Nin~o Y La Nochebuena","Amor Antillano","Guempa", "Adeli Adela", "Refugiate En Mi","Rumba A La Vida","Miguel","Chilindron de Chivo" (their second recorded version)"Guaguanco a Luyano", "Que Motivo","Goza Asi Mi Montuno","Agua Fria Aqui","El Rinconcito","Si Me Pudieras Querer"and "Magdalena" the latter featuring a vocal portion by Orlando Vallejo, make this CD unique in both sound brilliance and classic hit compilation. Don't miss it!"
