| | Oscar D'Leon Asi Soy CD Oscar D'Leon Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
There are few names in salsa that command as much respect as that of Oscar D'Leon. His first release with Sony International in a decade, Asi Soy reaffirms and even furthers that association. Seldom has D'Leon sounded so suave, or his band so tight. This Venezuelan native has established himself as one of the premier salsa acts operating today. This could be due to his unswerving commitment to quality and a traditional approach, avoiding any modern influence that might adulterate or pollute. For those D'Leon fans hoping to hear what this esteemed artist might do with a stylistically mixed palette, Asi Soy offers that opportunity in small measure. Rhumba, merengue, and plena make some brief visits to the set. Small amounts of experimentation aside, D'Leon tends to stick to the original plan: salsa as no one else can. With lush, honey-gold vocal arrangements and his warm, trombone-rich horn section, that plan is executed with great success. In a genre in which the music is often obscured by ambitious arrangers and over-zealous percussionists, D'Leon's commitment to the song sets him apart, guaranteeing him a seat among the greats. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
Personnel: Oscar D'León (piano, background vocals); Julio Fernandez, Francisco Farinez (trumpet); Tarcisio Pinango (trombone); Gustavo Carmona (bass instrument); Yorman Leon (snare drum, timbales); Cristobal Petit (congas); Charles Penalver (bongos, percussion).

 This one hell of an album.
I have never been a big fan of Oscar, however, he really out does himself with this album. Mixing all types of musical genres usally doesn't work, however, in this album it is like a musical masterpiece. The duet with Rey Ruiz is off the hook. This album took me by surprise by how good it is. It will have you dancing, and loving every second of it.
I hope his next album follows the same formula.

$8.55
With nearly a decade as a solo recording artist under his belt, Kinito Mendez's popularity in his native Dominican Republic is hard won, and hence quite stable. Eight albums as a solo artist and collaborations with several popular groups to his credit qualifies Mendez as a veteran of the merengue genre. Unfortunately, Kinito's large and loyal fan base did not result in chart success for his 2004 release, with only one track, "Hony Tu Si Jony," landing a spot on Billboard. With mixed success like ...
| | El Gran Combo Aqui Estamos Y De Verdad CD (2004)
Asi Soy album
$9.09
To call el Gran Combo de Puerto Rico a salsa classic would be the understatement of a lifetime. Words like "mythic" or "legendary" would better describe their weight and ubiquitous presence in the salsa world. Their 2004 release Aquí Estamos y...de Verdad! is in keeping with their tradition of excellence, and the Latin Grammy nomination it garnered is well deserved. Musical director Rafael Ithier favors the round, warm sound that made el Gran Combo the household name that it is. From the vocal approach to the horn and percussion section, the common goal seems to be salsa as smooth as possible. The youthful fire and passion emulated by younger artists is replaced by el Combo's mature elegance. ...
