Alessandro Cerquetelli (aka Overload DJ)
… When the great meet the greatest!
And in this song ! one of my absolute favorites ! there are some great ones! Let’s start with a mythical character, the American son of Puerto Rican immigrants Tito Puente, real name Ernesto Antonio Puente, born in 1923, eclectic composer, arranger and percussionist of mambo and Latin jazz, let’s add two producer remixers such as MAW (Masters At Work), ” Little “Louie Vega and Kenny” Dope “Gonzalez, operating since 1990 and already undisputed stars of the house firmament, and here in 1992 a superb” deep house “remake of a historical Latin song comes out (year of grace 1955!) expertly lowered by the Elektra UK label on the most stratospheric and pyrotechnic dancefloors in the world …
What can I say … classy, well recorded, bubbly, airy, driving, you would like it to never end, in a crescendo of rhythm, Caribbean percussion, melody and voices that could not leave anyone indifferent …
Tito, who will die in 2000, is still in great shape in front of his “battery” of instruments, expressive as never before with his unmistakable moves and grimaces accompanying every variation (the official video is equally legendary …). The result is amazing and goes even further than the original version, attracting dancers and lovers of refined sound from all over the world in equal measure … In a word: unique!
