Editorial Reviews

Victor Manuelle and his blistering band bring tropical fire and irresistible grooves for an easy dance party on his latest CD. For this project, Manuelle teamed up with some big guns, including veteran producer Emilio Estefan, Colombian singer-songwriter Carlos Vives, and arrangers Ricardo and Alberto Gaitan (Ricky Martin, Thalia). As a singer, Manuelle is a strong tenor with a good range. His emotive vocals are proficient enough for power ballads, but his chief strength is his soneo, or the ability to improvise vocals and lyrics within a salsa tune. He is right at home on the frenzied salsa tunes such as "Te Propongo" where he trades leads with the horns, piano and percussions at a blitzkrieg pace. "Tengo Ganas," the first single, percolates with insistent percussion and elephantine horns. A ballad version of the tune is more subdued but connects with its melodic hook. However, it's the theme that hits home. The hero is trying to pick up the broken pieces of his life and move on to a new love, but he's haunted by a ghost in his past. Nostalgia is evoked on "Si Me Preguntan," which is in the old son montuno style that recalls the smoky club heyday of Willie Colon and Ruben Blades. --Ramiro Burr

Awesome CD. I can't stop playing it. He definitely stays true to his roots - SALSA.

5 out of 5 stars Adoro este CD!.......2005-06-13

Un amigo permitió que mí escuche, y amor todas las canciones. Victor Manuelle tiene una voz maravillosa. Puedo escuchar repetidamente. ¡Goce! Usted lo amor.

4 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed this CD.......2004-11-11

Varied tracks. I enjoyed all of them. Some of the rhtyms are really infectious... a good buy

4 out of 5 stars A whole new Victor Manuelle.......2004-11-07

Great CD! Travesia not only has some tracks with the awesome salsa that Victor Manuelle usually performs, but also some intersting pop tracks. I usually don't enjoy when salseros try to enter other music genres, but Victor Manuelle did a very good job with this transition. You will get good salsa with old arrangements in tracks like 'Si Me Preguntan' and then get a nice vallenato arrangement in 'Yo Te Dare.'

My only complain is that I'm tired of salseros recording two versions (one salsa and one ballad) of a song in their CDs. Let's get back to pure, good old salsa!!

5 out of 5 stars Victor Manuelle is the man.......2004-10-14

This CD is awesome! I love every song on here. I bought two of them and gave one to a special person in my life. I suggest that everyone have a copy of this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Let this one sink in over time.......2004-11-07

This is one of those CD's that offers something new to discover with each listening. The original compositions are interesting and rhythmically diverse. Sanchez is a wonderful tenor player with a strong tone and fabulous range and the group he has assembled for this set are all outstanding.Edsel Gomez's piano playing is particularly good. When Miguel Zenon and Sanchez play together it's really fireworks. Very good straightahead jazz with a few latin flavorings thrown in.

5 out of 5 stars Traveis his best yet.......2002-08-20

With TRAVESIA David has absolutely pulled it all together. Sound, feeling, composition and technique are all amazing. His rendition of ILL WIND is superb as is his orginal song KARLA'S CHANGES...a swooping climbing/diving revelry that revelas something new everytime I listen to it. I have followed David Sanchez' development as a tenor player since his firt release THE DEPARTURE. He was always an interesting technician on the horn but now there are so many more levels. Can't wait until the next one.

5 out of 5 stars solid tenor.......2002-04-13

If you don't know the David Sanchez sound, I suggest you get aquatinted - this guy is gonna be around a long time. Usually heavy on the Latin (Cuban) rhythms - this album is more straight-ahead than the others, and even a little beyond with the trio work. The group as a whole works well with each other, and makes for a very good album - maybe even his best yet?

5 out of 5 stars Clean, uncluttered and forceful.......2001-10-26

A really excellent album from David Sanchez. Based around augmenting a basic trio of Sanchez (Tenor Sax throughout) Hans Glawischnig (Bass), Antonio Sanchez (drums) the album has forceful contributions from Edsel Gomez on piano and Miguel Zenon on alto sax. The material is an eclectic mixture of material written by Sanchez and Zenon through Wayne Shorters "Prince of Darkness" - a great opener- to Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's "Ill wind". The album programme works well, but stand out tracks for me are Zenon's " Joyful" with some added percussion, and Sanchez's "Karla's changes". This is a particularly good example of how well Sanchez and Zenon complement each others playing. The sound is very precise, clean and when it needs to be, mellow. Gomez also fits well into the overall sound, particularly effective on "River Tales". " Peace for Vieques" an extended piece also includes Pernell Saturmino's Puerto Rican rainforest effects. This is a full on David Sanchez extended jazz album which deserves a wide audience, and proves how effective he is within the small group setting. Listen to this soon!

              Product Description

              Liuba María Hevia está considerada una de las más exquisitas cantantes y compositoras del panorama musical cubano y latinoamericano de la actualidad. Muchos críticos ven en ella a la sucesora de grandes cantautores como Silvio Rodríguez y Pablo Milanés en el movimiento de la Nueva Trova de su país, y en sus CDs participan los mejores artistas cubanos, como el mismo Silvio Rodríguez o Chucho Valdés, sin olvidar a las jóvenes revelaciones como Buena fe o William Vivanco. Su trabajo se caracteriza por la poesía, el lirismo de sus textos y la fusión de géneros musicales lograda a través de una investigación y desarrollo constante sin perder su esencia trovadoresca. La presencia de las cuerdas frotadas y percutidas, junto a instrumentos folklóricos de Hispanoamérica (sin descartar afluencias tímbricas contemporáneas), entrelazan elementos de la música popular y la clásica, que, unido a la peculiar belleza de su voz, la definen como una artista singular. El refinamiento y los matices sutiles constituyen el aspecto más notable de su personalidad como cantautora, apreciable a través de su amplio y variado repertorio que comprende guajiras, sones, habaneras, registros del folklore latinoamericano como tangos, vallenatos, milongas y valses.
