CD Reviews

The Highpoint of Ray Barretto's Fania Recordings
William Jones | Rockville, MD USA | 01/13/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"With:Roberto Rodriguez, Trumpet Rene Lopez, Trumpet Joseph Roman, Trumpet Orestes Vilato, Timbales, Wood Block John Rodriguez, Bongos, Conga David Perez, Bass Luis Cruz, Electric Piano Adalberto Santiago, Vocals Ray Barreto, Conga, QuintoThis is the pinnacle of Ray Barretto on Fania Records, the great New York salsa label founded by Johnny Pacheco. A lot of people were profoundly affected by "Que Viva la Musica" and it stands as one of Ray Barretto's most "rounded" salsa recordings."Cocinando" or "Cocinando Suave" was recorded by Pancho Sanchez as "Sonando"."
One of the best latin jazz/salsa albums in history
alvaro gonzalez | Barcelona, Spain | 06/10/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Barretto is a heavyweight conga player, and this is "the" record at the pinnacle of his career, after joining the legendary Fania record label. There's a lot here to remark: the quality of songs like "que viva la música", "la pelota", "alafia cumaye", an splendid Barretto and the sonero Adalberto Santiago at his finest. Another "giant" salsero, Orestes Vilató (who founded Tipica 73 later), plays timbales like a God in this recording. And, if all this is not enough, you have "cocinando", the introductory song of "Our latin thing", a great movie that explains a lot of the salsa movement of the seventies.

A must have."
Everyone should have this record
Dita | NY United States | 05/03/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

""Que Viva la Musica" is one of the best records ever made in any category. No record collection should be without it. It features beautiful songs, Ray Barretto's visonary ideas and execution in percussion, and above all the golden voice of Adalberto Santiago, one of the world's great soneros."
