Lo Nuestro

Posted by Sergio on February 23rd, 2007

So, I don’t know if you had an opportunity to catch the premios Lo Nuestro on Univision last night.  It was pretty much the usual with a few outstanding exceptions.  My favorite was probably the duo of Victor Manuelle and Don Omar.  It was very cool how they completely overlaid their two respective songs, “Al Igual Que Ayer” and “Pobre Diabla” together into one harmonious sound.  Very nice.  Then they went on to sing their current single together called “Nunca Habia Llorado Asi”.  As usual, Manuelle did not disappoint and I have to say that Don Omar for being a reggaeton singer, has now successfully teamed up with Manuelle and Gilberto Santa Rosa on, “Los Hombres Tienen La Culpa”, and done a nice job.

La Nueva Combinacion Remakes a Classic

Posted by Sergio on February 13th, 2007

As you may have seen in past posts, I was torn between XM and Sirius satellite radio. Well you know what, I wound up getting Sirius, but more importantly, I got Salsa Radio :)

 That’s right, now I can hear songs like a remake of Esta Cobardia by the late, great Frankie Ruiz. This new project is by a group called La Nueva Combinacion and believe me when I tell you that they did the classic justice. I had to look these guys up and I found out that this is a collaborative album headed up by Angel Fernandez. The stars involved include Johnny River, Ray Sepulveda, Tito Allen, George Lamond and the singer on Esta Cobardia, sixteen year old, Luis Figueroa Roig. If you would like to find out more information on this project, the site is http://www.lanuevacombinacion.com/index-en.htm

Happy listening and please be sure to tell me what you think…
