Ralphy Santi Y Su Conjunto Todavia Tengo Ansia
CD (Muziq Records MQ003), Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
Bongocero bandleader Ralphy Santi returns with his first new project in, as far as I can tell, over a decade. Playing professionally since the age of 16 (with Primitivo Santos, Ray Roig, Latin Dimension etc.), Mr. Santi's first album was Mas Salsa Que Pescao (1974). This new classic salsa release brings together New York musicians like José Mangual Jr. who sings on Todavia Tengo Ansia along along with with Carlos El Grande, as well as Santi's son Angel Luis, who debuts here with "I Wish You Love." Also featured is Ernie Acevedo on congas, Louie Arona and Maximo Rodriguez on bass, John Walsh on trumpet, Junior Rivera on tres, pianist Victor Santos and many, many others. Santi revisits his early hit "Ansia" with "Ansia II," and Pablo Chino Nuñez's new arrangement makes it rock harder than ever.
This is New York club style salsa at its best.
Santi's return is highly welcomed, and his new release is Highly Recommended. (BP, 2006-04-13)
