Latest release is a well conceived salsa production
Salsa Monster cd that makes
you want to move with an uncontrollable urge to its rhythmic beat,with his powerful singing Bobby has a way of entrancing
his audience as he carries the latin style of singing as only a true salsa singer does, yet he is true to his heart as a balladeer,
as he enchants us with the style with which he interprets his two romantic ballads song 5 and 11, so beautifully.
Trying to one-up his sizzler cd "Doble Sentido" must have been quite a challenge for Mr. Rivas, who raised the
bar on club-ready salsa dura that year. Well, cue up "Veneno," the opening track penned by Mr. Rivas (he wrote most
of the material on La Nota De Un Rumbero) and it won't take you long to hear that he's rolled up his sleeves and is
seriously ready to rumble (uh, rumba).
And while not every track is gold (I, for one, wouldn't miss the few romantic
numbers ie "Bohemio Por Amor," "Mi Ultimo Secreto") it's those priceless bulldozer tracks like "Veneno"
and the title cut "La Nota De Un Rumbero" that make me plunk down the bucks. There're also a couple of collaborative
tracks between Rivas and heavyweight Jesus "El Niño" Alejandro. Listen to his powerhouse arrangement of "5
Vecinas." It's stuff like that that should pack a CD.
