Rose Knows Review:

I just got an advance copy of the new Wayne Gorbea CD, "Fiesta En El Bronx" and it's smokin! This fabulous New York Band didn't disappoint me and has some great salsa tracks for every type of salsa lover -- slow, fast or classic salsa dura! There's 6 salsa songs out of 8 tracks in total.

And what are my personal favourites, well, it starts with a wickedly fast salsa on Track 1 - Sube Esa Cuesta, which just grabs you and makes you want to dance. What's interesting to note, is that many experienced dancers don't enjoy that speed anymore as you can't express yourself, it's just move after move at hyper-speed. So once you listen to the rest of the album, it's a great opener, but not the song you'd want to listen to over and over. Then Track 2 is a "classic remake" of Clavo y Martillo, so New York in flavour and caught my attention. Track 3, No Hay Confucion, didn't grab me at first until I heard it again in the comfort of my own home, perfect for beg-int dancers to mambo (salsa on 2) -- I couldn't even find the 1 because it's so slow and perfect for the 2. Track 4, Fiesta En El Bronx, is a beautiful song -- a perfect on 2 song with the right mix of coro and classic mambo. Track 5 and 7 are also NY mambos and Tracks 6 and 8 could be danced to a cha cha. After listening to this album all night, I'm totally drawn back into Clavo Y Martillo and Fiesta en el Bronx. I also played some bits to DJ Fab over the phone and he picked them out almost before I did! Definitely a must-have for any salsa lover out there!
