On his 26th offering, Gilberto Santa Rosa (aka El Caballero de la Salsa) delivers a modern collection of boleros and salsas that rely as much on production techniques as on his wonderful voice.

After all, studio compression seems to be the mark of modern pop salsa. That complaint aside, Santa Rosa's voice is timeless in its passion, control, and expressiveness.

Other highlights on the set include the fiery "Si Yo Fuera Tú" and the electronic pop groover "La Cremita." ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
