Enrique Alvarez Y Su Charanga Latina - Brujeria 2009

Wow! Here's a big-bucks production with timba playing a big role. A gaggle of talent here, including seven singers, some of whom are Liliane Del Castillo Troya, Wilmer Muñoz Pérez,
René Suárez Zapata, Ernesto Bacallao and guest Adalberto Alvarez. Listen to the gem "Por Gustavo." A bit of well done traditional charanga is also in there ("Almendra") to clear the palate. There's also a superb rendition of "El Manicero." This is a major piece of work. With guests Jesus "Chucho" Valdes and Papo Lucca. Includes a DVD, too. Very Highly Recommended.
