"I purchased this CD based on a recommendation from a well respected DJ of Salsa music. I did enjoy listening to it and I thought her style was unique. As for dancing, there were three tracks: Elegua, Tambo and especially La Salsa Nunca se Acaba. The other tracks were nice, jazzy tunes, but not what I would consider Salsa dance music."
La Salsa Nunca Se Acaba es la perfecta CD!!!

"The Salsa Never ends is the perfect cd for salsa dancers, and Afro-Cuban jazz lovers alike! Susie Hansen plays electric violen, and Jorge sings in a traditional Cuban jazz style(he sand with Tito Puente), the horn sections is allowed to play some great solos, and the percussion is downright exotic! The band sounds right out of 1953 Cuba. They even do some Orquesta Aragon, and celia Cruz 50's arrangements, including an Orchuesta Aragon arrangement here on thsi hot & spice cd! Also a highlight is "With Each Beat of My Heart", and a jazz merengue, as well as the title track. The entire cd sizzles with exciting pounding percussion, perfect for dancing!"
Exellent salsa dance cd con mucho jazz content too...

"Most Salsa dance cd's have very little jazz content, unless you buy a Tito Puente cd. So this cd is a real treat. Hansen plays hot jazz violen solos, and there are plenty of horn jazz solos too, yet the music is all very danceable, some salsa, extreme salsa, and other styles of latin dances as well can be danced to this very adventurous music. The music is irrisitable to dance to, and is pure listening pleasure. Exellent cd, with great vocals en espanol!"

"I like neither salsa nor latin jazz; however, I purchased the album just for the Elegua track, which I find terrific, and closer to the cuban son montuno which is my favorite. There is also a cha-cha that I find pretty good. The other tracks are OK, but not my cup of tea. In any case, the musicianship is excellent, in particular Susie on the violin. Good work!"
