Victor Manuelle, now seasoned and more confident, has turned in (with the help of
salsa creative whiz
José Manuel Lugo) one of his most accomplished and well-rounded productions.
Lugo and
Manuelle drift away somewhat from the already familiar
Sergio George sound, favoring a more traditional, old-timer feel, but maintaining the aggressiveness that fits the latter's vocalizing and improvisational skills. Veteran arranging star
Bobby Valentín put his formidable dexterity in charts like
"Lejos" (that is
Valentín announcing and counting off the tune, by the way), a whirlpool of fire and ice, done in customary fashion;
"Cómo Se Lo Explico al Corazón" and
"Te Voy a Encontrar" are notable samples of
Lugo's punchy stamp; the title tune is available in both
salsa and
pop versions, the latter a maiden attempt to explore on a rockish
pop beat. Highly enjoyable, and one of the top Puerto Rico-based
salsa albums of 2001.
