Merengue firebrand Olga Tañón delivers her best material in a red-hot setting at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. The Puerto Rican native spread her wings and dove into pop with her 1996 album Nuevos Sende... more »ros, and she still has that eagerness to mix it up. Among the choice cuts here are "Mi Eterno Amor Secreto," which mixes bluesy soul with romantic salsa, and "El Frio de Tu Adiós," for its melodic intensity and mature lyrics of accepting the end. Tañón shows off her versatility, swinging from the mid-tempo ballads "Presencié tu Amor," to the full-blown dance-pop workout of the bonus track "Viva la Música," which recalls the heavy percussion of Marc Anthony's "I Need to Know." --Ramiro Burr« less

"I've been a fan of Olga Tanon since her days as member of Las Nenas de Ringo y Jossie and Chantelle and when I read about this cd, thought it would be a milestone in her career.However, the following factors made me give it only 2 stars:1)The recording was either made, mixed or mastered without taking into acount that this type of music needs to be equalized in a manner that not only her voice but also the bass, brass and percussion has "punch". It sounds as a live recording of a classical soloist. 2) The new songs are filler. 3) Her versions of salsa's classics previously recorded by Joe Cuba/Cheo Feliciano, El Gran Combo de PR, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz and Willie Colon/Hector Lavoe are not outstanding.She deserves better albums. Let's hope the next studio recording brings the best in her."

A Great CD from "La Reina del Merengue"!

""Olga Viva, Viva Olga" is a great example of Olga Tanon's stage presence. She often interacts with the audience, chatting them up in this performance. It sounds very personal, like something on MTV Unplugged or VH1 Storytellers, which is a great setting. The fans really get into her probably biggest hit "Me Subes, Me Bajas, Me Subes", which is, in my opinion, MUCH better than the recorded version on "Nuevos Senderos". The only thing that kept this CD from a 5 is the lack of new songs, except for "Viva la Musica", which isn't that great, and the fact that the Boogaloo Medley and the several versions of "Tu Amor" are pretty cheesy. It's still a very worthy buy, though. :-)"
Sing Along With Olga Live!

"Olga Viva, Viva Olga is a very entertaining CD. It was recorded live at the House Of Blues in Orlando, FL. She won a Latin Grammy for this one. I like the smaller audience, and hearing them sing along with hits like "Basta Ya" makes you feel as if you're actually there at the concert.The biggest number is "Tu Amor." It starts off with the techno-Flamenco sound it's originally done in, then the band cuts off; so they can sample Merengue, Bolero, Hip-hop and Salsa versions of the song. Eventually returning to the spicy Flamenco style.The last track is a groovy Spanglish number. It's nothing special, but has a catchy beat, and gives hints at Olga's potential English crossover."
