In my deck all the time. . . . .......2007-06-16

This CD somehow has not made it out of my CD deck since I bought it. It is very addicting makes you want to dance.

IT IS SOMETHING TO BEHOLD ...........2007-05-25

The COMMENTS by E. Teran "boricua" are an EXAMPLE of a person who has "very little knowledge" about SALSA MUSIC. Anyone can put "BORICUA" as being the POSTER at AMAZON and claim to be an expert. Being a TRUE BORICUA and musician I am amazed how the Gran Combo can take the SALSA "Rhythm" and keep it FRESH on this album. You need to listen to the Instruments to understand the complexity of the arrangements. I understand that some would prefer to go back to the 30's and 40's as if a "renassiance" will occur in Salsa Music. This is SALSA in the purest form and by the "creators" of the music. Great CD. Beware of "Player Haters !". Salsa Creations POST .......

If you are a salsa fan/dancer, like me.......2007-03-16

Just two words in order to describe the CD - "A must have"

Salsa how it should be.......2007-03-01

I agree with the reviewer in saying that it's not EGC's best album. BUT... compare this album with all the other salsa garbage that has come out in the last few years. Sure there are some great tracks out there, but great albums??? Nope...

This is one of the only salsa albums to come out in the last few years worth paying for (which is why I am!).

You can only applaud people like EGC, Maelo Ruiz, Sonora Poncena, Roberto Roena, and even Victor Manuelle who's last albums have been quality affairs. Sure, not their best work (the exception being Manuelle) but better than the rest of the releases out there.

I miss the 70's, 80's, early 90's salsa as much as everyone else but those days are gone. I only give big claps to the people who are trying to keep quality salsa going.

BUY THE ALBUM!!!

Buen Disco.......2007-02-21

Con perseverancia y sin venderse barato a las tendencias modernas y lo que simplemente esta de moda, El Gran Combo saca un buen disco. Tiene el mismo sonido clasico, de los 80 para aca, sin sonar cansado y aburrido. Las voces suenan bien y la orquesta aun mejor. El loco que dijo que ellos necesitan a Gilberto Santa Rosa para seguir esta pasao o fumo pasto viejo. Este no escucho el ultimo disco que el hizo y fue un desastre. Pero si hizo un buen disco de navidad. Y ademas El Gran Combo es unas de las pocas orquestas que siguen haciendo musica nueva, sin estar viviendo y comiendo y dependiendo solamente en sus exitos del pasado. Este disco es mejor que el que sacaron en el 2004 (ese metieron la pata con el intro de La Gorda Bella) pero el mejor hasta ahora es el de 2001, Nuevo Milenio, Mismo Sabor. Lo recomiendo para los fanaticos de El Gran Combo y los que son fieles a la salsa.

I love salsa adore it 40 combo anniversary it is a beauty

The Best Of Salsa.......2006-01-22

Just in case you don't know El Gran Combo is called the University of Salsa for a reason. If you never heard of El Gran Combo, then you have never danced to real Salsa. In their live anniversary CD you hear their old and new stuff but you can't tell which is which becuase it's all wonderful. They have lasted this long for a reason, you can sing with them, dance with them, and if you ever get a chance to see them live I implore you to go. You can hear the energy and the love they have for salsa in their live cd. I have played this CD to many and they always ask me who is this, and I just love introducing them for the first time, they all go back to buy 40 years of their Cds. I would recommend you do the same if you don't have a collection already. Actually I would recommend buying all of their anniversary CD's.

Gran combo the best.......2005-01-21

I JUST LOVE THIS CD , THE MUSIC MAKES YOU DANCE EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE . BUT YOU WILL BE THE BEST JUDGE . SO BUY IT AND ENJOY IT.

Estaba bueno, pero se quemo rapido.......2007-04-14

Tiene buenas canciones, que cuando salieron me impresionaron. Pero como que me aburri del album muy rapidamente. Voy a admitir, a mi me gustan las salsas mas agresivas, modernas, rapidas, y/o experimentales. Por ejemplo los grupos:
Fruko y sus Tesos, Jimmy Bosch, y Africando.

Y por eso mientras EGC saco unos cuantos temas como "Mi Gorda Bonita" en este disco que estan a mis gustos, cuando empiezan a ponerce mas romantico me pierden.

Por lo tanto se lo recomiendo a los que les guste la salsa a medio tempo, con una mezcla de humor y romance.

"Aqui Estamos y de Verdad".......2005-09-17

I've been a fan of and listener to El Gran Combo for nearly forty
years. Their sound is uniquely distinct and always enjoyable,
but I find this recording to be one of their superior efforts-
it smokes,start to finish! One would guess that such a recognizable sound would by now be irrelevant;if anything this recording revalidates the excellence,care,feeling,and
professionalism that has always been characteristic of this fine
group of musicians.Their sound is timeless!

Excellent.......2004-11-19

Once again El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico Proves to be one of the best Salsa bands of all times with "Aqui Estamos y...De Verdad! These folks excell in this their latest produccion with themes like El Matrimonio, Amor Perfecto, Pa' Arriba no va and the bolero El Amor Que Te di and also Por Siempre (Charlie on a duo with Titi Ortiz) You will dace and will also be romantic with this CD which will inspire you to be closer to your most significant other.

From the era of the "Monsters of Salsa", call it Godzilla.......2007-02-01

El Gran Combo is one of Salsa's oldest and most respected bands. Around now for more than 30 years, the sound has stayed fresh despite changing line ups and singers. Done in the late 70's/early 80's era (la epoca de los monstros de salsa, hence my review title), this album reflects one of the best line ups El Gran Combo ever had.

It starts with a track about being left for an ugly man. It moves quickly and follows a steady beat. Not as exciting, but a good intro.

Track 2 exemplifies the talents of this band's congueros, who start it out right. The band eventually jumps into this slow starting song, giving it a solid crescendo.

Track 3, about a jealous husband, is funny and catchy. The examples of the man's jealousy get more extreme as the song goes on, leading one to wonder where else they can go with it. A lot of fun to listen to, this song marks the end of the first half. From here on in, it only gets much better.

Track 4 is another slow starter about a woman who's leaving her man. Around halfway, the congueros and horn section players do their bit, and the song goes from a sad lament to a powerful commentary. She's leaving, and there's nothing that can be done except sing like there's no tomorrow.

Track 5 is one of my favorite songs of all time. This is the sort of song with plenty of innocence and innuendo to appeal to everyone. Starting off with a call to a young woman, her man asks her to stay home today because it's about to rain. The song flows freely, with the lyrics following a path around the breaks. By the time the chorus arrives, you too will be asking this sweetie to return to her nido de amor. Once the lyrics are learned, this is one of the best songs to sing with friends while walking back from the beach. Well, at least it is for me...

Track 6, Brujeria, is one of the most dancy, catchy and easy to follow salsa songs ever. A man falls for a santera, and wonders whether his love for her is real, or the result of witchcraft. The chorus is so addictive on this song that it's a great song to play for people who've never heard salsa before. IF the listener isn't totally HOOKED by now, they will be after a stint of brujeria.

7 is the low point, a track about a break up. Not much here, but it's worth a listen.

Now for the end song that makes you wish there were another 20 on this album. These guys do a cover of "mujer boricua" one of Puerto Rico's better known oldies. It's a standard, but these guys tear this song up! The horns open it, the singer pays his tribute to the classic, and then they set it all on fire man. WOW is this song hot! The lyrics about wanting a woman with dark eyes, black hair y que sea boricua are powerful, fun, and will make you want to love a Borinqueña if you don't already.

My only beef with this fantastic album is that many of the songs take a while to build up. When they finally do build to the choruses, the song inevitably ends, leaving the listener with this longing for more. It's only about 40 minutes long, and every time I play this album, my whole body seems to want another hour or two of el gran combo.

This is one of salsa's best bands, and this is one of the best albums they've ever done. From the era of "los monstros de salsa", this album is Godzilla!

Salsa at its finest!!.......2005-01-24

This is one of those rare pleasures in life...when Salsa was SALSA...the term coined by Newyoricans in the seventies for what had been Rhumba music- originating in Cuba...this is salsa .In the seventies and early eighties the best came forward..it wasn't about filler or commercial appeal- no videos with scantily clad ladies shaking ( not that there's anything wrong with that ) this was pure quality this is a must for any salsa afficionado...this album along with the stuff Willy Colon, Ruben Blades and Hector Lavoe were putting out make a Dance party to be remembered...(dance lessons not included)...get it! go ahead...do it! you'll be glad you did!

oldies but goodies.......2001-07-09

this group of singers are fabulous. I indeed recommend it to those who enjoy how real music used to be like. I own this paticular item on record but I am looking for it in cassette form. Take it from me I wouldn't steer you wrong on this classic. Happy listening!

Fantastic Album!!.......2003-09-15

I bought this record in New York almost 15 years and basically learned Spanish listening to it over and over again. The second record of the two in this set is my favorite, with hits like "No hay cama pa tanta gente" and "No hago mas na". The arrangements, the rhythm, the lyrics, all world class stuff by this group which is like an institution in Puerto Rico.

Buena Coleccion.......2001-09-18

Yo compre este disco en 1994 y suena bastante bien. Aunque el disco del 20mo aniversario contiene temas mas memorables, tiene muy poco volumen. Digno de comprar
