Notes & Personnel Info |  | Focusing on the more modern, sweeter salsa romantica rather than the punchier Fania-era stuff, Las No. 1 de La Salsa, Vol. 2 collects 12 tracks from some of the biggest stars in the '80s, '90s, and the early 2000s, including India, Eddie Santiago, Luis Enrique, Frankie Ruiz, and even Celia Cruz (with "Rie y Llora," from her last studio work, 2003's Regalo del Alma), which makes it a good compilation for people looking for a decent overview of the direction salsa has taken in the past 20 years or so. ~ Marisa Brown |
