Product Description

Q Magazine (10/99, p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[CALLE SALUD] bridges conservatory suavity and Afro-Cuban deity-worship in one stride..."
Mojo (10/99, p.122) - "...he provides a masterclass in harmony singing....Even a little help from Charles Aznavour...cannot steal anything from the man at the back. Sometimes being second is a winning position."
CMJ (11/15/99, p.3) - "...a warmer, yet more refined vibe than his 1998 release, LO MEJOR DE LA VIDA....[It] conveys the contrast of intense sorrow and absolute bliss that permeates the best Cuban music..."
Entertainment Weekly (12/3/99, p.102) - "...Close your eyes and feel the soft breezes of old Havana." - Rating: B+
