REVIEWS



Rica Obsesion, is a Chi-Town Orchestra who recently released their new CD “Llego Mi Turno” which is loaded with great dance tracks para que se curen mi gente. The latest single which I chose to write a review for is a cover of a classic “Anacaona” which was originally done by one of the Fania Legends Cheo Feliciano.

Rica Obsesion’s cover of this classic, has “HIT” written all over it. Wow!!! This is one awesome track which is pure fire and will light up all dance floors around the world. Dennis and his crew have taken this beloved classic to the 21st Century.

I’m not going to waste my time talking. Just go out and buy this awesome CD “Rica Obsesion – Llego Mi Turno” and add it to your salsa music collection. This is NewGenSalsa at it’s best.

DJs if you don’t have this yet. I don’t know what you’re waiting for.

Dj Walter B. Nice- New Gen Salsa 


There are a lot of strong up-tempo dance numbers in this recording, but our personal favorite track is actually Track 3, Baila Mi Cha Cha, which has some excellent  call and response work in the metales. One of the distinguishing marks of Rica Obsesion locally is a deep coro, and that carries over into the recording, with strong vocals throughout.  We anticipate that some of the songs - Dejala Con Sus Mentiras, Dinamita or Tu No Sabes Querer, for example, will probably get some radio rotation outside of the Chicago and New York markets.
   

Llego Mi Turno is a worthy addition to the libraries of Salsa lovers and is also further evidence that Chicago's Latin music scene has been underappreciated nationally.   Hopefully this recording will help change that state of affairs.
