This is an excellent dance album from Colombian-based band led by German Villarreal with rearrangements of old classics. The fun highlight is Fantasia Cubana, which made the salsanewyork.com list along with Almendra. Chango Ta Beni and Cuando Te Vea are pretty good too - not necessarily the best versions out there but decent enough as an alternate version. Ran Kan Kan is also serviceable.
