Favoriete salsaband uit Puerto Rico van de Nederlandse, in Columbia wonende ster-salsa-trompettiste Maite Hontelé, zo laat ze Heaven weten. Mede omdat de band altijd met minstens vier trompettisten werkt. "This solid overview of Puerto Rico's favorite group of salseros looks at their Fania years -- basically, a 15-year period between the late '60s and early '80s -- with a baker's dozen of classic numbers. Their best LPs get a few numbers each, including Musical Conquest and Explorando (the latter gets four selections), and although progression is difficult to gauge -- Sonora Ponceña changed remarkably little during stylistically turbulent times -- the uniformity works well in the context of a compilation." (John Bush, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
"Cruz is recognised by many as the "Queen Of Salsa". Of Afro-Cuban decent, Cruz began singing in amateur contests at the age of 14 in her home city of Havana, Cuba, where she studied music theory, piano and voice at the National Music Conservatory. In 1950 she began singing with the conjunto La Sonora Matancera, and with that group she was a central figure in some of the most glorious chapters of Afro-Cuban music, recording a number of legendary songs, including "Yembe Laroco", "Yerbero Moderno", "Burundanga", and "Caramelo", among many. By the end of the 1950s La Sonora Matancera was the most popular group in Cuba and Celia's alliance with them took her beyond the coast of Cuba; firstly to Mexico for two years, then moving to the US, and performing internationally. While in the group she met Pedro Knight, at the time one of the band's two trumpeters, whom she married on 1962-07-14. (Cruz died just 2 days after celebrating her 41st wedding anniversary.)"

"This is a wonderful early recording. It's not just Celia with Matancera, but includes other Sonora Matancera hits from the 1950s."Cruz (1925-2003) is recognised by many as the "Queen Of Salsa". The voice, charisma, and talent of Cruz has created one of the most impressive music careers. Listing her accomplishments would require a book. Her more than 70 albums have yielded many gold and platinum records, and she has received more than a hundred awards from prestigious institutions around the world.

"La Sonora Libra is weer zo'n fraai product uit de Barcelonese smeltkroes. In 2011 brengt Mauricio Ochoa elf in de Catalaanse hoofdstad gevestigde muzikanten bijeen. Ze komen oorspronkelijk uit Ecuador Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, Chili, Italië en Spanje en vertegenwoordigen verschillende muziekstromingen. Salsa, jazz, flamenco, wereldmuziek en fusion... het is een bont gezelschap. Zowel latinjazz-liefhebbers als dansers zijn enthousiast over de muziek. Dit tweede studio-album bevat, inderdaad, méér dan salsa. Het album telt 8 eigen nummers en een salsaversie van de klassieke bolero "Nuestro Juramiento". In de overige nummers is een mix van urban, salsa dura en latinjazz terug te horen." (Latin E-Magazine)
"Celia Cruz her first break came when she was invited to join the band la Sonora Matancera in 1950. The group was revered as the Latin equivalent of the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Cruz remained with the group for 15 years, touring throughout the world. She married the band's trumpet player Pedro Knight on July 14, 1962. With Fidel Castro's assuming control of Cuba in 1960, Cruz and Knight refused to return to their homeland and became citizens of the United States." (Allmusic). Het CD-boekje vermeldt over deze verzameling uit die periode: "This 'best of' offers unique sides coming from the archives of Radio Progreso, and they allow the listener to appreciate a little known repertoire of the Sonora Mantacera and of Celia Cruz."
Celia Cruz is in 1925 geboren in Havana. Haar eerste opnamen stammen uit 1948 in Venezuela. Haar eerste doorbraak was in 1950 toen ze moest invallen bij de Sonora Matancera. Het publiek moest eerst aan haar wennen maar ze kreeg uiteindelijk veel succes in heel Cuba (en vervolgens ook internationaal). In totaal heeft ze drie Grammy's gewonnen en vier Latin Grammy's. In 1992 nam ze een jubileum album op met de Sonora Matancera (dit album) en had ze een rol in de film The Mambo Kings. In 2001 heeft ze een album opgenomen met Johnny Pacheco als producent. Na een knieoperatie begin 2003 gaat ze gewoon door met optredens. Een paar maanden later overlijdt ze echter aan een hersentumor. (NPO2)
