Many claim this as the best Roberto Roena album - it certainly is the best one I have heard thus far from start to finish. Traicion is the big hit but not the only one. My other favorites include El Que Se Fue and Que Se Sepa. Que Se Sepa by the way is a bit too fast for dancing so I was surprised when I first heard a song very much like it when out dancing and having a great time with it. When I asked the DJ about it, the song played was actually Siguelo by Javier Vazquez (apparently Siguelo is the original version and this seemingly is corroborated by others but there seems to be a dispute with authorship of the song according to the liner notes). El Que Se Fue would seem eminently danceable (and there are other versions of this song which also seem nice), but I haven't had the opportunity yet.
