What do you get when you mix a gang of Truth & Soul All-Stars (like El Michels Affair's Leon Michels, Quincy Bright, Jeff Silverman) with a group of Candela All-Stars and put them to work in San Juan, PR, for eight days? The result is on this album, which has mercifully hit vinyl after about a year of clamoring from the people. With the musicians involved, you probably don't even need to be told that this is one amazing slab of Latin funk glory, essential for fans of old skool Candela and new fandangled Truth & Soul alike. Alongside the previously released known heaters "Agua Con Sal(1)" and "La Valla(2)," I recommend scoping the title track(3), "Nora Se Va(4)," "Mi Corazon(5)" y "Donde(6)." Recomendado. 10 tracks.
