Happy, bright, sparkling, brilliant: in all honesty, there simply aren't enough colorful adjectives to accurately describe the palpable, inherent joy in the music of Cuban master Ibrahim Ferrer. All the shades of the rainbow--and more--are showcased beautifully on Ay, Candela, a vivid, varried collection of classic tracks. The assembled songs span the 1960s, '70s, and early '80s, but they sound as fresh and vibrant as anything recorded in the last few years. Ferrer is a master of delivery, and he works wonderfully alongside the expert musicians and background vocalists. It makes for some great moments, particularly during the joyous "Mi Tonada Montuna," "Manana Me Voy Pa' Sibanicu" and the title track. Ferrer's best moment, however, comes during the stirring "Una Fuerza Immensa," a lush, captivating bolero that conjures images of swaying palm trees and slow-dancing couples. It's a standout amid an album of outstanding consistency. --Joey Guerra

4 out of 5 stars Great sample of ferrer's earlier work.......2005-09-09

If you're a fan of the great, recently departed Ibrahim Ferrer, you will find this album to be a interesting window into the work he did during the decades before he retired, before hooking up with the Buena Vista clan. If you're a more casual listener of Cuban music, I'd recommend sticking with Ferrer's more recent albums, as they are produced to better enhance the beauty of his voice.

It is important to note that the music on this cd was actually recorded from the 1960s to the 1980s, not in the Buena Vista era.

    5 out of 5 stars truly great choice.......2007-02-06

    I am a great fan of cuban and colombian music, and was really surprised when I finally listened to Toto la Momposina.
    Toto started her career very early singing colombian folk music, some of which is presented here in its original form, as a good example, the first track, "Dos de febrero" is an unadultered cumbia in its pre-comercial form, only drums and a capella voice, "El pescador", which became quite a popular song, is presented here in what I think is the original and the best interpretation, also as traditional cumbia.

    Toto then enriched her style by making a research stage in Cuba, and integrating the structure and instruments of traditional cuban folk music into her own, great examples are "La sombra negra" and "Malanga", which follow the cuban son structure and are enriched by guitar and the "marimbola", a bass metal harp-like instrument which gives a deep impact. These two songs are really great.
    The songs "Adios Fulana", and "dame la mano juancho" use the reed flutes called "gaitas", another typical component of the colombian folk style.

    The last track, "la acabación" is a peculiar gift; the main drummer from Toto's group was trained in a sacred rithm used only during funerals, and taught only to very selected and skilled drummers. Here we can listen to it.

    as interesting trivia, Toto la Momposina was invited by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, when he received the nobel price in literature, to play her music in stockholm, at the award ceremony.

    5 out of 5 stars La candela viva.......2003-04-25

    Toto la Momposina brings out the real and pure folklore of the north coast of Atlantic & Magdalena Region.
    The african influence in the different types of drums will make you travel to remote regions where the night, candles, machete make you move their rithms echoes.
    I truly enjoy the creativity of bringing the drums resonances in different stages and clearly differenciate it.
    The poetry of the songs words are the small village people tails seating around the campfire enjoying each others companion and adventures of the day or a distant leyend.

    5 out of 5 stars MAGIC.......1999-12-05

    When the africans beated their drums and the native indigenous tribes added some melodies with their gaitas, a new kind of music was born in the beautiful caribbean coast of Colombia. Strong, pure, deep, poetic, vibrant and magic. This music is done with 3 elements: voices, percussion and gaita (native flute). Toto la momposina is the best and most representative singer of this kind of music, her voice is unique and powerful, and I consider this her best recording. A jewel of real world music.

    5 out of 5 stars toto is making colombian music getting respected.......1999-10-06

    she is one of the most amazing singers i have ever heard.strong voice,great music.i recommend toto to all the people that enjoys really good music.i also recommend toto`s carmelina album,released in 1996.she is from the atlantic coast of my country colombia.,and is one of my faves artist,with shakira,sade,george michael and others.thanks.gabriel.

    4 out of 5 stars Fun, foot-stomping festival music from Columbia.......1999-08-27

    A mixture of Cuban, Spanish, and African influences swirl through "La Candela Viva." The female vocalist is vibrant and fiery.

    The track "El Pescador" alone is worth the price of the disc.

    Please you can not compare AT ALL this artist with Sonora Carruseles!!!
    GREAT ARTIST ALL AROUND!
    you will love it!

    4 out of 5 stars Still not as great as Sonora Carruseles, but good.......2004-01-26

    If you want the heavy and yet eloquent salsa, La Salsa la Traigo Yo, Con Todos los Hierros, both by Sonora Carruseles are better albums. Bonilla is a great musician, and his non-romantic and non-cheesy salsa is the salsa I prefer. I love the rumba, the salsa brava type. This is what this album is.

    Sonora Carruseles, Fruko y Sus Tesos, and Edwin Bonilla... Buy their albums, their music are a cut above the rest.

    5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2003-09-05

    Fantastic release from Edwin Bonilla. No filler material, just some great Salsa Dura with a decidedly cuban feel. Jesus Perez does a nice job on vocals (and arrangements!), and the tracks are sure to keep ya dancin the whole CD through. While its only his second solo salsa release, Mr. Bonilla is an impressively credentialed veteran percussionist, and it shows on this album!

    While I'm not sure you can say Mr. Bonilla is the most popular Salsa artist in the world(could that comment have been biased by the fact that Mr. Bonilla is living and working in Miami? ;-)), I am sure he's getting plenty of play time everywhere!

    5 out of 5 stars Best i've heard in quite some time..........2002-11-23

    As someone who has listened,danced and even played Latin Music (I generally disdain the term "salsa" I consider "salsa" a condiment not a genre...but i digress...this album has begun to restore my faith in the future of latin music...this cd is "straight ahead" without regard to the pop music we hear co much of today...for those new yorkers out there...this is definitly "Corso", Hunt's Point Palace, and Colgate Garden's variety, knock your socks off music that revels in it's originality...this from someone who bought his first Palmieri LP in 1964...Azucar...and jammed at Orchard Beach (Section 9)....Tropicoro Club on Wednesdays, Colgate and the Hunt's Point Palace on Sunday's and the Corso on Saturdays...this is the real ...*....Ramon Pinero

    5 out of 5 stars Heavy duty salsa ...........2002-06-25

    Bonilla really comes along with some great salsa here....not at all in the romantic vain, frequently associated which Puerto Rican Salseros. No, this one really takes it home, with great playing. Salsa duro....

    Virtually everything Tipica 73 recorded during its 1973-79 heyday was superb. On this album, the best seemed to have reached a new level of perfection as evidenced by the timeless title track ,"Los Santeros" and "El Jamaiquino". This is yet another album that clearly demonstrates what the classic 1970s salsa was all about.

    5 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING!!.......2000-08-12

    Pena Suaso's second album catapulted him to the top of the merengue class. With songs like, "Candela Pura", "Soy Yo", and "Ven que Tengo Mambo", he really pioneered or increased the popularization of today's well-known, fast-paced merengue. Even today, many people use this album as a stepping stone to see where it all started.
