5 out of 5 stars A Real Winner.......2007-06-02

The title says it all. Every song is a winner and this CD contains the best.

5 out of 5 stars Top quality Salsa in an unforgettable selection.......2007-05-25

As you can see, it would result unuseful any speech about the quality and historical significance of all these top songs and also about the artists (all of them stars around the world). Everyone is a must-have song in any collection of this kind of music. It is a lovely selection recorded with original sound and in a very danceable sequence. Very difficult to say what is better than other but the only song a little bit "out-of-focus" is "Lloraras" because of that it has been recorded live and the sound is not original (but excellently interpreted by Oscar de Leon, as well). Strongly recommended!!!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!!.......2007-04-25

This is a release that has got to be heard...a smoker front to back. Every single track included is among the best salsa ever, every single track is on the mark. All of the songs were top hits on their own and are now included here in one cd. The line-up alone is testament to it's dancing power. The songs in this cd have both Puerto Rico's grooving criollo style of salsa and New York's funkier, jazzy style. From New York City: Ruben Blades, Cheo Feliciano, Hector Lavoe; Jose 'El Canario' Alberto; Tito Puente/Tony Vega; Richie Ray; Larry Harlow; Ismael Miranda. From Puerto Rico, Marvin Santiago; Willie Rosario; Frankie Ruiz; Andy Montanez; Orquesta La Solucion; Tommy Olivencia. Lastly, from Venezuela the great, Oscar D'Leon makes an appearance to round out the cast to get "your feet a poppin and da booty hoppin". You owe to yourself to check this one out. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars DEFINITELY A MUST-HAVE!.......2006-06-22

This is one of the best salsa cd's. It has the best artists and the best songs all in one album, which is hard to find now days. Compared to other salsa cd's I have bought this is the most complete by far.....

A continuation from Vol I of the all-time greats. Every song is a winner!

5 out of 5 stars A Smoker!!!.......2007-05-12

The companion cd to volume 1 and every bit as good. This release has the top cream of old school salsa in it. Not one bad track in the lot. Of all the salsa compilations I have come across, this and vol. 1 are as good as it gets. Wheter you are a hard core Latino or are just a lover of great music, I highly recommend this. You just can't go wrong here. Bon appetit.

5 out of 5 stars Truly Great Salsa.......2007-01-12

Although the title may seem a bit smug, this truly is great salsa from all over Latin America and the Caribbean. This is an ideal collection not only for a genuine salsaholic but also someone who is looking for an overview of the genre. There is not a single lame groove on this disc, and some of my favorites are songs I had never even heard when I bought it. Some of these songs also have things to say, like the heartbreaking story of "El Gran Varon" (The Great Male) and the scathing social commentary of "Plastico." For real old-school salsa, check out "Las Caras Lindas" (Beautiful Faces) or The Queen of Salsa herself, Celia Cruz, on "Quimbara." Another great tune is "A la Hora que Me Llamen Voy" (At the moment they call me, I go) by Jose Alberto "El Canario": It starts with a crowd scene like Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," then the intoxicating chorus begins, the beat kicks in, and El Canario starts singing in a voice so sensual that it could melt iron. This is the rare CD on which you will find yourself listening to every song and not skipping over a single one!

5 out of 5 stars Can't Get Enough.......2006-12-26

Excellent selection of the greatest hits of Perez Prado and his orchestra. If you love the Latin big band sounds, you will love this.

The music comes out well on the CD. The cover work is great. I loved everything about it.

If I had to compare the sound of his band to someone else, the closest I could say would be if Ricky Ricardo were met up with Brian Setzer.

4 out of 5 stars at least 50 % super-fabulous.......2004-02-25

This is a mixed bag from Crespo's career, with one song, the '98 duet with Millie Quesada ("La Reina del Merengue") which was to win them a "Duo Tropical del Año" Billboard Award that is not included in his other CDs, the terrific "Linda Eh", which is from a hard to find CD simply called "Elvis Crespo", and an 18 minute VCD that includes a music video of "Bandida", a "galeria de fotos", "biografia", and "discografia", making this package a worthwhile buy if you're a dedicated Elvis fan.

"Suavemente" from Elvis' first 1998 CD of the same name has to be one of the most irresistible dance songs ever recorded, and here you get the original, as well as a re-mix (partially in English) which doesn't live up to the freshness and vigor of the original, but is still quite good. Other songs from the first CD are "Tu Sonrisa" and the marvelous "Luna Llena".
From his 1999 CD you get "Pintame" which I always found to be rather repetitive, but was a big hit for him, and "Por el Caminito" which I like a lot.
From his 2000 CD, "Wow Flash", you get the title track, and "La Noche" with its nice guitar intro.
From his disappointing 2002 CD, "Urbano", there is "La Cerveza", 2 versions of "Bandida" (one without the rap section), and an "Urbano" re-mix medley which has a lively blend of rhythms.

Most of this CD is worth polishing up your dancing shoes for, with at least 3 stellar numbers (tracks # 1, 3 and 9) and many others that are lots of fun and great to dance to.
The insert foldout only includes a song list and total playing time is 63'00.

Great CD - this group was given as a recommendation by someone.

Highly recommend if you like latin music, and want something a bit deeper, darker and funkier !

4 out of 5 stars Hits??.......2006-11-10

I liked this cd. Its a good compilation of songs, however I wish I had seen the other Great Hits cd they launched because I think it is more complete. Overall, for someone who likes DLG and doesn't want to buy all their cd's this is a good compilation.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2003-09-02

Well I'm spanish myself ... only problem is that I don't speak the language nor understand it that much ... but just listening to this cd and all of DLG's songs just puts me in a mood to get up and dance and not stop until every song is over. I live in NY ... Buffalo, NY to be exact and I really never hear these guys out here. They're just a great group and If you're looking for a new salsa direction, these guys are it. Great Collection although in my mind I would've put a few other songs on there such as Sueltame and Eres Mi Vida.

5 out of 5 stars Dance to the beat in Miami Heat.......2003-05-07

Locked-down in rush hour I-95 traffic on my way to or from work, DLG comes on, I want to jump out of my car and snatch the guy next to me in his linen suit out of his 740i and dance down the aisles of traffic; wedding ring or not.

Great music and a killer sound system is the only way to beat hot traffic in Miami. DLG is a must.

5 out of 5 stars Great History.......2001-01-22

Dark Latin Groove - this name says it all about what you are going to hear. By the hand of Sergio George these 3 guys (Huey Dunbar, Fragancia and Da Barba) moved the Salsa sound to the next step. Influences from Hip-Hop,R&B,Funky bass lines and Latin Rythms makes this album the recopilation of the best and last moments of DLG Salsa.

I think salsa history changed since DLG appeared because it came with a very mature idea on the way of mixing new and old sounds (electronic vs. acoustic) putting the best that every instrument have to offer in a continous "descarga".

For me DLG is like a very concentrate sauce(salsa) with a touch of great vocals and amazing musical arranges. You will never feel tired of hearing this CD again and again.

Great for dance, play or when you're stuck in a traffic jam!. It could be a good choice to those who want to start listening to salsa music but have a background in Funky-R&B styles.

5 Stars for all of the tracks.

5 out of 5 stars best compilation.......2007-06-08

Because i am from the old school of salsa in the 1970.
This band follow the structure of the original was to play salsa.
You can hear each part of the music well ad not over play like many new salsa band do today. A special thanks to the piano player and the singer with his improvisation has a sonero but also the corro section improvasing has well. Good Cd, good Music to dance but will be better to listen them live. This compilation is a must have in your collection

5 out of 5 stars a great group.......2007-01-12

very good recorded, all the songs are beautiful, I'm going to buy another CD of this group!

5 out of 5 stars The new masters of percussion in salsa have arrived.......2005-08-08

These guys are hot, hot, hot. While all of their musicians do a great job, it is the 'tambores' in all of their forms that set them apart. You want timbal solos? You got them and lots of them. You like different ways of hearing the conga rhythm? You will be pleased. In fact I was a little upset at the fact that I could not find their arrangements for the different songs.
When I bought this I thought that with getting 30 songs for 13 bucks, the band had to be just OK. But the fact that the music is so good and there is so much of it makes this one of the top salsa deals in amazon.

ONE OF THE BEST SALSA CDS IN YEARS!! I WOULD RECOMEND THIS CD TO ANYONE WHO LOVES SALSA... BEST TRACKS PROBABLY "PEGASSO", "SOBRE LAS OLAS", "LAS CALAVERAS". TRULLY A GREAT CD!!

4 out of 5 stars Latin Soul.......2001-04-06

Columbian superstar salseros The Latin Brothers have been playing decades for international audiences, taking their tropical interpretations worldwide. For salseros everywhere such songs as "Las calenales son como las flores" "Buscandote", 'Dale al bombo" and more recently the classic "Sobre las olas" and "Fuma el barco" are easily recognized aand welcomed whenever they perform. This CD offers the uninitiated listener the opportunity to hear one of the best group of salseros under the direction of the multi talented Mario Rincon. Mostly salsa, there are a few guajiros and son caribenos included here that just make this CD even better. Actually I wish there more of them as I have some of the groups individual CD's where they play more Guajiros. "El Carretero is an outstanding track that just sizzles."Buscandote" does so likewise with its story of a search for a lost lover. If you know what latin soul is, this is it personified, the kind of stuff that gets your head bobing and if you're so inclined your feet moving. The use of violin, trumpets, flutes and percussion fits beautifully with the fine vocals. The lead vocals are shared by various members of the group, depending on the time period but always sung con mucho sabor. The harmonies are a perfect modern tribal chant. This is a good package of the Latin Brothers salsa. These are very tasty numbers that are old school but as contemporary as anything that is currently popular in salsa circles. Recommended for salseros old and young alike.

"I still believe" is my favorite song by Brenda K. Starr. After all these years, I heard the song on radio and went into action to purchase her collection!

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Variety galore!.......2005-08-28

Although I much prefer their more recent music, this comprehensive compilation shows you how the band evolves and the different sounds which have been added.Maybe not the ideal choice for a salsa dj, but great if you like latin music(esp. Afro-cuban sounds).

5 out of 5 stars Superb Compilation..........1999-12-19

This is a terrific introduction to Los Van Van, one of the most interesting bands in the world, for those who don't know much about them or those who have, say, one or two LVV records and want to hear more without having to buy a lot of CDs from their 30 year history. Any 2 CD compilation of a band with that long and varied a history is sure to leave out some favorites, but this set is well-chosen, particularly in the later years. Even better, it includes a fabulous 100-page plus booklet with a history of the band, lyrics in English and Spanish, discography and a list of the musicians who have been in and out of this group over the past three decades. My hat is off to the people who put this together. It is done with love and intelligence. Rare enough to see either of those. My only quibble is the absence of the some of the classic cha-chas from LVV's early period such as "De 5 a 7" but they can be had on other compilations. Also, I highly recommend LVV's new American release "Llego Van Van". It's a spectacular record, one of the classics of Latin dance music I think, which picks up just where this collection ends. Since Amazon has yet to put up any real information about this set, I'll just mention that it's two CDs, one devoted to 1969-1989, the second one to Van Van in the 90s. Hope Amazon puts up a track listing and some samples soon for other buyers. If you have Llego Van Van and are intrigued to hear more, this is well worth it!

1 out of 5 stars An unsuccessful attempt to recycle garbage........1999-12-10

Listening to this CD is a close encounter with an Unbearably Faulty Object. The producers have attempted to recycle the multiple bad-quality recordings made by this band in Cuba and the quality just isn't there. Too bad.
