QUE CLASE DE MASTER!!!! El músico Willie Rosario es una de esas figuras del pentagrama de la salsa que han cargado sobre sus hombros la lucha por la permanencia del género, lidiando contra las adversidades que, en muchas ocasiones, impone el mercado artístico. Su propuesta artística, montada sobre el patrón armónico de cuatro trompetas y un saxofón barítono, se consolidó temprano en los años 60, luego de haberse nutrido de múltiples experiencias como líder de orquesta y bajo la sombra de la agrupación de Johnnie Seguí.

Reviews from CDS etc.....“This 1983 release stands out as Willie Rosario's all-time heaviest and funkiest Salsa album. The testosterone-driven Salsa Dura jams "Busca El Ritmo", "Cuando Se Canta Bonito", "Bajo La Luna", "Amigo" and "Todo Termino" are some of the HARDEST and funkiest Salsa tracks ever recorded and (if it's not apparent by now!) you should know that this is music for the dance floor--not for listening. Vocalists Tony Vega, Bobby Concepcion and Gilberto Santa Rosa were more than worthy of accompanying such a powerful and hard-hitting band as Rosario's and the results are quite amazing. Enjoy!” 

“I was at Discos Viera sometime in the mid-90's and Willie Rosario was talking about this recordings with Viera and a few collectors. Willie was not very happy with TH Records because at that time none of his recordings under that record label (1978-1983) were available on individual CD's. TH argued they hadn't managed to do this because they can't find the master tapes (MY NOTE: SO HERE IS THE ORIGINAL VINYL NM!!). Rosario answered: "Somebody there have those tapes because you recently managed to release "Oro Salsero" with them. Did you guys lost them on their way back from remastering?". Anybody that have the mentioned original 2CD's compilation can confirm that they were made from the master tapes; the sound quality of all included songs is top notch.” (my note: Hey I met Willie in the Salsa’s Heaven Discos Viera’s store on San Juan’s Cerra street…so this reviewer knows, maybe I know him!!)
