Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz get together for a live recording that magnificently captures the moments of joy of their most productive years, with the support of a superb band composed of Puerto Rico's finest musicians.
Bobby's voice hasn't changed a bit, Richie's piano playing is as furious and genius as ever, the percussion arrangments and execution are marvelous, and the wind section, even though it doesn't sound as crystal clear as it used to sound is still impresive.
Having seen them live just before they decided to retire (to religious activities), I was impressed of how Bobby has kept his voice fresh and powerful and Richie's talents as arranger, pianist, etc. are still unmatched in salsa music.
