Conjunto Clasico
Si Ella Estuviera
CD (Universal/Machete 705479), Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:


Ray Castro and his crew are back with a superlative, hard-driving
old school salsa CD. The venerable Conjunto Clasico doesn't release
a new project that often, so it's pretty big news when they do. Past
incarnations of the band featured vocalists Tito Nieves, Julio
Barretto and Johnny Rivera. For this project, it's Héctor Luis Pagan
who's up front, and he does a fine job. Listen to him go to work
on "A Ella Le Gusta Mi Rumba," or the cover track "Si Ella
Estuviera."


With Hector "Maximo" Rodriguez on bass, conguero José "Juicy"
Jusino, Nito Caraquillo on piano, tresero José Garcia, Ramon "Ray"
Castro and Ramon Rodriguez — the co-founders of Clasico — on coro,
and a trumpet section that features Richie Viruet, Pete Nater, Raul
Agras, David "Pyro" Rodriguez, and Jose Tabaras.
A fine no-nonsense, in-the-pocket salsa project.
Recommended. (BP, 2006-08-28)
