5 out of 5 stars Spicy "must have" for your salsa collection!.......2004-11-22

It literally took me months to find this "Salsa En La Calle Ocho" CD from 2000. I must say it was well worth it! This was the one album people kept telling me to purchase when I was on the dance floor in my intermediate salsa class. I can see why. This is a great cross section of sounds, artists and flavors. It's a great introduction for people looking to flesh out their latin music collection.

The artists on this album are: Frankie Ruiz, Tito Rojas, Adolescent's Orquesta, Frankie Negron, Alquimia, Servando y Florentino, Maelo, Anthony Cruz, Charlie Cruz, Raulin Rosendo, Dominic and Liliana. We get to hear Puerto Rican and Venezuelan salsa, as well as the Nuyoriquen (New York-born Puerto Rican) styles often heard in the clubs of the East Coast. (Though, this album is a cross section of music taken from the annual Calle Ocho salsa festival in Miami, Florida).

My favorite cuts are, by far, "Me Nego" (by the legendary and well-respected Venezuelan group, Adolescent's Orquesta), "Una Fan Enamorada" (by the Venezuelan duo Servando y Florentino), and "Bombon de Azucar" (the instaneously catchy and infectious tune by Charlie Cruz).

A Note: You are going to want to head to a salsa club immediately or organize a big salsa party after listening to this CD, guaranteed!

5 out of 5 stars One more for my "Calle Ocho Collection" !.......2000-03-19

I've collected all of the Calle Ocho CD's since they put them out in the market and I have to say, I just couldn't wait for this "Millenium First"! This one really rocks. Well deserved Frankie Ruiz flashback (rest in peace "mi hermano"--we miss you ! ). Tito Rojas as always--Salseando and many others. If you are a true salsero (ra), make sure to add to your collection. Enjoy ! Take my word for it.

5 out of 5 stars Best Merengue Compilation.......2002-08-30

This is the best merengue compilation you can buy. Of course, you can always burn a better one! The best tracks on this CD are "Menea" and "Me mata la pena". In my humble opinion they are even better than the hits of Elvis Crespo. The music just makes you want to swirl.

5 out of 5 stars A hot Merengue anthology.......2001-08-13

"Merengue en la Calle Ocho 2000" is an anthology CD of 12 different Merengue songs by 12 different acts. This CD is hot: full of the dynamic rhythms and driving percussion that characterizes this form of Latin music. One curious point: with the exception of Maria Alejandra, it appears that all the acts on this CD feature male vocalists.

This is a strong CD in general, but my favorites include the following: Tonny Tun Tun's "Caminando," which features a particularly aggressive vocal style; Ronny Soler's seductive performance on "Como Duele"; the surprisingly gentle-sounding lead vocals on K-Libre's "La Quiero y La Quiero"; Proyecto Nuevo's fun "Papi Chulo"; and of course, Maria Alejandra's sensual, passionate rendition of "Me Equivoque." If this CD doesn't get you hot, you'd better check your pulse!

3 out of 5 stars A good sampler of the state of Merengue.......2000-06-21

Merengue, a dance music primarily from the Dominican Republic, is gaining in popularity and is now often heard in Salsa clubs. This cd wouldn't be my pick as a first introduction to Merengue, but it does include a nice set of recent hits and they're all danceable. The first cut (Caminando by Tonny Tun Tun) is my favorite on here by far. It sounds a little like reigning prince of Merengue Elvis Crespo and there's a good reason for that: Crespo co-wrote the song! The song by La Makina is great fun too, and also highly danceable and includes some sly references to other performers. If you enjoy Los Hermanos Rosario, you will note Tono Rosario's song here as well.
