Press Reviews "A brilliant,independently produced CD by vocalist Carmen Jimenez, with arrangements by the late Louis Ramirez. A breath of fresh air in a world of insipid 'salsa romantica'. A powerful voice with phrasing and soneando sure to fill any dance floor." By Music Historian...Max Salazar"Some artists have that special spark; some don't. This sultry songstress really delivers here on her second CD. Ms.Jimenez displays not only a sensuous quality, but also finesse, utilizing both strength and subtlety in her style. The songs on this CD are no-nonsense "straight-ahead" salsa numbers. Add to this a distinctive talent and charisma and you have an individual who has everything it takes to make it. Just take a listen." By Author & New York Music Radio Host...Vicki Sola
