(EJR Music)

Hailing from the southern region of the island of Puerto Rico comes the group Costa Brava. Under the leadership and musical direction of trumpeter Elvin Torres, the band follows in the tradition of the super salsa orchestras of the island--Willie Rosario, César Concepción and Bobby Valentin--with three vocalists backed by about a dozen high caliber musicians, This new recording includes ten originals, ranging from upbeat to moderate salsa scores (El Agricultor, Decir Adios, Flor Bonita, and Regresa), as well as the romantic bolero/chachachá No Me Importa. All the scores are well arranged, featuring strong lead vocals and excellent background choruses. Special guest musicians include guitarist Maximo Torres, trumpeters Luis Aquino and Leonard Velez, and pianist Elvin Torres Jr. (who also assists his father in the musical direction of the production).
