	El Gran Combo - CD Reviews with SalsaPower!
		Released in time for the 21st century, the CD combines the best of the El Gran Combo tradition with new blood, suggesting that the already long-lived Combo is once again reinventing itself.
		A lot of the new energy felt throughout the album is, in my opinion, the result of El Gran Combo's decision to include Richard Bastar, son of legendary percussionist Francisco "Kako" Bastar, in their newest incarnation.
		The arrangements combine the signature EGC sound with punchy horn and bass lines that help to punctuate the music and add a spicier feeling to the album that was somehow lacking in the previous album.

		Of course, Ithier was really referring to the dearth of venues that can afford to book the 13-member El Gran Combo, and we all know that while the number is diminishing, there are still plenty of places to get your dancing legs off to a live band.
		Judging from its latest release, El Gran Combo won't be removed from its position as chief executive of salsa anytime soon.
		The secret of El Gran Combo's success is not only the perfection of a Latin dance orchestra's indefatigable verse-chorus-improvisational break formula - it's the generosity of spirit, the accessibility and the engaging nature.

	El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico : El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico - Biografías
		CIUDAD DE MEXICO- El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico nace en 1962 como una nueva formación de música tropical Puertorriqueña que, sin demasiadas espectativas en sus principios, seria con el tiempo el grupo más sólido y auténtico de cuantos ha dado esa islita llamada Borinquein, conocida en el mundo occidental como Puerto Rico.
		El que una orquesta pueda seguir con la ilusion del primer día, no habiendo faltado nunca en estos 30 años a su cita con la tarima cuando se les ha requerido, siendo el grupo mas querido y respetado por el pueblo boricua (puertorriqueño) es algo que se contesta solo cuando El Gran Combo comienza a tocar.
		Yo resumiría el buen hacer de El Gran Combo, en las ganas que siempre a tenido de agradar al pueblo y estar con él.
