Ray Barrettos concert in Puerto Ricos Tito Puente Auditorium on April 27, 2001
would prove the congueros farewell to salsa. After decades of dual residency in
both the worlds of salsa and Latin jazz, Barretto says Adios to the former,
opting to spend his last few years in the industry recording more jazz-oriented
material. This star-studded performance takes a look at the career and
collaborations of the most significant conguero/bandleader of the latter half of
the 20th century. Barrettos many years in the salsa limelight made him some good
friends, many of whom take the stage to join him for his final offering to the
salsa world. The vocal lineup is incredible, including Ray de la Paz, Adalberto
Santiago, Victor Manuelle, Yolanda Rivera, and Tito Allen. Manuelle, who was
filling in for Tito Gomez, is actually not listed in the credits, having been
brought out of the audience to fill in on Guarare at the last moment. Though the
performances are scorching hot, the sound quality leaves a bit to be desired.
Poor fidelity aside, this two-disc set features 14 of not only great salsa hits,
but the hitmakers as well. Ray Barretto certainly knows how to go out with a
bang!
