(16 Customer Reviews)
This longtime salsa favorite -- with the help of a little reinvention -- tops the charts once again with his 2006 record, Salsa con Reggaetón. In an effort to synthesize the old and the new, the classic and the fresh, the Univision label employed the talents of top Latin music producers Ramon B. Sanchez and Sergio George, both of whom need only touch a project for it to turn to gold. Montañez, a veteran of the world famous El Gran Combo, a crown in the Puerto Rican salsa crown, collaborated with some of the island's new breed of recording stars. Reggaeton artists like Daddy Yankee, Cheka, and Voltio are just a few who lend their flow to Montañez's new sound, which he calls "salsatón." The tunes are fun and danceable, a great mixture of thick, live sounds and the block-rockin' sound of the drum machines that give reggaeton its steely spine. Though bringing together a well-seasoned, gray-haired salsa vocalist with raw, contemporary talent may seem like a gamble, it seems to have paid off. Salsa con Reggaetón rose to the Top Five of more than one of Billboard's Latin Music charts. Andy Montañez sounds as strong and artful as he ever did. This is one for the books. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

Salsaton!!! Es un gran Cd q saca Andy Montañez, junto a grandes del reggeton como Daddy Yankee, Voltio y otros... El ritmo no para nunca...!!!
A los amantes de la salsa y el reggeton se las recomiendo. Submitted by hsalva ("Springfield, VA, USA")  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Not bad I like reggaeton but am disapointed, I have most of Mr. Montanez's music and really missed the groove and swing of his earlier stuff I like a couple of the songs on this Cd but I'm a Salsa dura freak. If you like pop salsa with a Reggeaton flaire this Cd will not dissapoint. Submitted by djdeanz (C.A.)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

| | Greetings From The Isle Of Klezbos CD
Salsa Con Reggaeton album
$13.69 It's interesting to note the Isle of Klezbos is an all-female band in the male-dominated field of klezmer (admittedly, nowhere near as male-dominated as it used to be), but don't read too much into the punny name. It's better to judge any band by the music it makes, and some of this is remarkably good. "Golden Khasene," for example, trades off clarinet and trumpet leads backed by some excellent accordion for a strong take on a wedding tune. The wittily titled "Klezmerengue" nimbly fuses klezmer with a meringue beat so seamlessly that the join never flows -- a tribute to the musicianship on offer. Much of the disc is made up of the band's takes on traditional pieces, a few recorded live, such as "Szol A Kakas Mar," but there are some originals, like Debra Kreisberg's "Abrah," which proves to be a good exercise with some roots in klezmer. Not everything is perfect on the record, however: as much as it strains, ...
