Review

Cruz's second coming first linked her with Johnny Pacheco's very traditional sound, then with others including, among the most interesting, Willie Colon. This anthology features many of the biggest hits from both the Pacheco and Colon collaborations: "Cucala," "Usted Abuso," "Toro Mata," "Reina Rumba," "Quimbara," "A Papa," "Vamos a Guarachar," "Vieja Luna" and "No Aguanta Mas." ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide
