Met een liedje over Amsterdam gezongen door Astrid La Holandesa.
Holland based percussionist Gerardo Rosales has until now pretty much stayed in latin jazz veins, framing jazz harmonies and melodic ideas inside the rhythms of his native Venezuela. Though there are some jazz oriented tracks on his 2002 release, evidently Rosales has found a new focus, a new reason to live. Salsa Es Mi Vida, just as one might expect by the title, is straight-up New York style salsa. 2002 release
