"Me Esta Gustando/ I'm Liking It" by FIESTA Orchestra (Latin Artist from Miami, FL)

The fabulous album, "Me Esta Gustando / I'm Liking It," by the outstanding group Fiesta Orchestra, is sheer Salsa entertainment. This album is overflowing with superb songs of vibrant and energetic beats and lyrics sung in both Spanish and English. Right from the first track, "Siempre Así" you will feel the hue of energy from the bright and brilliant horn riffs, percussive drums, and strong and solid vocals. The rendition of the classic standard, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do," is spectacular as the syncopated rhythm gives a pulsating beat to the splendid vocals. The song, "Street Life (vocal version)," is sharp flowing with the intense precision of the instruments as they swirl around the melodic vocals. If you're a fan of Salsa music, then you won't want to miss the chance to listen to the excellent and well performed songs on the CD, "Me Esta Gustando / I'm Liking It."
