Customer Reviews:

Bonus tracks save this album.......2005-12-27

Of the original tracks on this album, the title track is the only one worth listening to; the rest are lackluster arrangements with the same simplistic beat that seem to be aimed at a mainstream audience, and not Afro-Latin aficionados. I would give this album two stars, but the six bonus tracks are so good, they make this disc worth the $18 I paid for it. These six tracks have the authentic Afro-Latin sound that put New Yorican bands on the map. So go ahead and buy it, skip to track 13, and press play.
