I’d heard it was good, but I didn’t count on just how good it could truly be! Fresquecito is the long awaited album from Elito Reve y Su Charangon which reinforces Elito’s rightful inheritance as son of the Godfather of Charangon. It’s infectious to the max: just you try hitting that stop button and see how you feel!
Reve has a great reputation and for a good reason. Many great artists have passed through the band over its 50 year history and I have a feeling they are about to burst back to new heights.
Already knowing the title track “Fresquecito” doesn’t help quell the addiction, and we continue through the rich incessant piano of Pachy Junior, violins from guest Irving Frontela of Los Van Van fame and even a surprise appearance from another Van Vanero: Roberton. The vocals of Dagoberto, El Sinsonte, Eric Broche and Lázaro Cuesta weave rich coros that won’t leave your head or feet for days and call to you in your sleep. (did I already say that I love this CD?)
Top tracks have to be El dinero, La Viuda, Ya No Te Doy Mas Na', El Jonron and A Sancochar Boniato but they all rock!
