Sal Peréz Y Su Orquesta Yarey - El Musico

Review by NRG Grid

El Musico by Sal Peréz Y Su Orquesta Yarey: A Salsa Gem That Still Shines If you’re into Latin music, especially the kind that makes your hips move before you even realize it, El Musico is one of those albums you can’t just listen to once. Released in 1990 on Sunny Records, this salsa-heavy masterpiece from Sal Peréz and his crew feels like a warm summer night in Puerto Rico—sticky, vibrant, and unforgettable. With styles ranging from salsa and rumba to guaguancó, the album hits all the right notes for anyone craving authentic Afro-Cuban vibes. First off, let’s talk about “Olvidate.” It’s one of those tracks where the brass section (shoutout to Jim Boyer and Ken Fradley on trumpets!) punches through like a crisp breeze while Monchi De Seda lays down vocals so smooth they could sell silk sheets. The coro chants are tight too—Sal Pérez himself sounds like he's having the time of his life shouting over the rhythm. You remember this track because it doesn’t mess around; it grabs you by the shoulders and says, "Hey, dance already!" And honestly? You do. Then there’s “Loco Soñador,” which flips the mood entirely. This one leans more introspective, with Eddie LeBron laying down some serious piano magic. There’s something raw about how Jose Echevarias delivers the lyrics—it’s not perfect, but that’s what makes it stick. His voice cracks just enough to remind you he means every word. Paired with Wilfredo Rivera’s bongo beats keeping everything grounded, this tune sneaks up on you when you least expect it. One minute you're nodding along, and the next thing you know, you're staring out the window thinking about lost love or missed chances. Heavy stuff. The production creds here deserve a mention too. Junior Vega’s arrangements are sharp without being flashy, letting each instrument breathe. And kudos to Javier Vázquez for stepping in as producer on “Total”—that track alone shows how much care went into balancing chaos and control across the album. Even smaller details, like Mark Patterson’s trombone lines weaving through the mix, add layers that keep things interesting after multiple listens. What really stands out about El Musico, though, isn’t just its technical brilliance—it’s the energy. Every track feels alive, like these musicians were vibing off each other in real-time rather than just punching a clock. Maybe it’s Héctor Rodriguez holding down the bassline like nobody’s business, or Sal Pérez’s leadership tying everyone together. Whatever it is, it works. So yeah, El Musico might be almost 35 years old now, but it still slaps harder than most modern releases trying to recreate the same vibe. Honestly, I didn’t think an album from 1990 would make me want to throw a party in my living room at midnight, but here we are. Go ahead, give it a spin—you won’t regret it. Unless you hate fun. In which case…why are you reading this anyway?
