Holy crap! This has got to be the hottest Latin album of the year. The SHO’s 13-piece ensemble delivers fabulous salsa-based tunes with polish and style. Every track is amazing and it’s all totally on fuego. Wicked brass, solid vocals, hot percussion, it’s great -- seriously, seriously great.
1. Fast intro - spoken intro to the orchestra members. Then fast jam.
2. Nicely brassy, tight vocal harmonies, catchy perc. Upbeat.
3. Dishy cha-cha w/sexy vocals in a playfully jazzy arrangement.
4. Hot, jazz rumba w/extra good horns & vox. Gets hotter at 3:55.
5. Sweet, fresh-sounding, wiggle-worthy dance. All so good.
6. Lively and sharp salsa w/cool piano/perc/horns and vox.
7. Upbeat w/a warm, romantic sound.
8. Catchy salsa with solid work from all – makes you want to dance.
9. Nicely subdued cha-cha w/a romantic, almost retro sound.
10. Good vocal harmonies, the brass get cooking on this one. Mid/up.
11. Fast, and infectious, hot, hot salsa.
12. Slow piano intro. Delicious midtempo Latin jazz instrumental.
13. Paul Simon guests. Upbeat – in English and Spanish.
