Latin music icon and legendary Fania impresario/bandleader Johnny Pacheco is back with a new release Entre Amigos, on the Bronco Records label. With a stellar cast of guests (Bobby Valentin, Papo Lucca, Arturo Sandoval, Roberto Roena, Dave Valentin, Nelson Gonzalez and Ricky Gonzalez), producer/musical director Johnny Pacheco unveils a repertoire of mostly original compositions, with arrangements by Bobby Valenti­n, Papo Lucca and Ricky Gonzalez. Recorded in New York City (with the exception of the track Celia ... Reina Soberana, which was recorded in Puerto Rico and includes the vocal talents of Ismael Miranda, José Alberto "El Canario" and Tito Rojas), the CD features lead singers Héctor Casanova and Ray Viera, as well as backup vocals by Johnny Pacheco, Darvel Garcia, Jelena and Shae. The repertoire of mostly old school inspired sones, montunos and guarachas is somewhat reminiscent of Pacheco`s earlier works. Highlights include the tribute composition to the late Celia Cruz, Celia ... Reina Soberana, the New York style mambo/cha El Exigente (with vocals by Pacheco and an electric guitar solo by John Garcia), the selection Busca Tu Puesto (a vocal descarga featuring all the singers of the production, plus a few others, such as Cheo Feliciano, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Herman Olivera, Michael Stewart and Adalberto Santiago), and the merengue La Cirugía (with guest vocals by Johnny Ventura). (Latin Beat Magazine)
2005 maestro Johnny Pacheco release, his first solo project in more than a decade (the 1993 "Sima!" was his prior release). And what a great gift from the Prince of Salsa this is! I know of no other who can offer a better blend of machismo and elegance in Latin dance music. This mega blast of salsa magic brings a boat-load of invited guests into the studio: Bobby Valentin, Roberto Roena, Papo Lucca, Nelson Gonzalez, Dave Valentin, Arturo Sandoval, Ricky Gonzalez and others. Did I mention the singers? Listen to this: Gilberto Santa Rosa, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda, Adalberto Santiago, Tito Rojas, Jose Alberto "El Canario," Michael Stewart, Herman Olivera, Ray Viera, Hector Casanova and Johnny Ventura. he best material here conjures the essence of Pacheco`s superlative collaborations with Pete El Conde, Justo Betancourt, Monguito, and, of course, Celia Cruz. Here Pacheco crystallizes the classic New York salsa sound -- and spirit -- the way no one else could have. This one is a must-have. Highly Recommended.
