Suavemente Los Exitos

"Wepa! " Tres hurras por fulano Elvis Crespo! I must say I disagree with Alex, Elvis Crespo is a great merengue composer and performer, and I think he is the best thing to happen to merengue since............, well there you go. Congratulaciones on the Grammy Elvis, keep up the good, work.

This fabulous merengue CD is a non-stop exhilarating delight...if you don't feel the irresistible urge to get up and dance, check your pulse. You don't even have to know how to merengue, this CD will teach you how ! The smash hit title track and "Luna Llena" are my favorites, but the entire CD is excellent...there are no "fillers" here. Crespo shows his writing talent here with "Suavemente" and "Tu Sonrisa" and his infectious, energetic voice is perfect for this type of music. The man has soul...and don't forget to read the "agradecimientos" after amazon.com has rushed this CD to your door, they're lovely.

Memorable tracks are : Luna Llena, Princesita, Tu Sonrisa, and (ofcourse) Suavemente. And last, but not least, Elvis Grespo is such a cutie that how could you help but like him? One...Read more
