Latin Beat Magazine, Feb, 2004 by Luis Tamargo
(Pimienta/Universal)
Satisfactoriamente sazonada con su picardÃa decimista y su predilecto ron criollo (o vino tinto), la voz añeja de Wilfredo Pio Leiva (alias "El Montunere de Cuba") traza la ruta a seguir en un repertorio de sones, rumbas y guarachas, entre otros géneros y estilos autóctonos expresados a través de diversos formatos (septeto, charanga, big-band montunera, etc.) que congregan, bajo la dirección musical del talentoso saxofonista/flautista Germán Velazco, a unos cuantos invitados de alto calibre vocal (Omara Portuondo, Teresa GarcÃa Caturla, Pedrito Calvo y el difunto Compay Segundo).
Mayormente aportados por Velazco, los inventivos arreglos orqoestales abren paso a un elenco de solistas de ampanga que incluye pero no se limita a Pancho Amat (tres), Generoso "Tojo" Jiménez (trombón), Guillermo Rubalcava (piano), Tomás "Panga" Ramos (tumbadoras) y Yonder de Jesús Peña Llovet (timbal). Lo que no entiendo es por qué se identifica dos veces al último instrumento como "steel drums" en la pertinente lista de participantes. Tal parece que en casa det traductor, cualquiera resbala y cae.
