Unlike many of his Latin music contemporaries, Manuelle rarely ventures into pop or English language material, preferring to stay true to his salsa roots. His forte is romantic material, a choice perfectly suited to his rich, warm voice, and there is no shortage of love songs on this riveting set. Backed by a full band, Manuelle is in fine form on this set, making LIVE an excellent purchase for both fans and newcomers. |
