Venezuelan Oscar D'Leon has his first salsa successes in the 1970s, with the band Dimension Latina. When the band falls apart a few years later, they have already more than established their name in the Caribbean. With Salsa Mayor and later simply Oscar D'Leon y su Orquesta, D'Leon continues his steps on the salsa path. He produces album after album, plays with the greatest salsa musicians and
… travels around the world with his orchestras. His nickname says it all: 'El león de la salsa' or in good Dutch 'De salsa lion'. Fuzionando is already the sixty-ninth Oscar D'Leon album. For the occasion he has invited some guest musicians to provide his music with new impulses, such as reggaeton artist Tego Calderón and flamenco singer Barullo. But it will not be really innovative. Fortunately, it is danceable. (MH)more
