La Sonora Matancera
Super 100 Exitos
Warner / Rhino / Peerless MCM 2851359
Made in Mexico
Super 100 Éxitos, or is it 100 Super Éxitos? This is a 5-CD boxset with 100 tracks and no notes or booklet. Which is a shame because La Sonora Matancera is an institution whose inheritance the whole world has gained something from, arguably the “mothership” from whence all salsa music derives. As has been stated here before, “salsa” is a catch-all, umbrella term anyway encompassing a bunch of different styles, like guaguancó and son montuno – both well represented here – but also bolero and many others, and there are even a few cumbias scattered around this collection. The collection features Celia Cruz, Bienvenido Granda, and probably Daniel Santos, Nelson Piñedo and other stars of this storied group. If anybody out there stumbles on a more thorough breakdown of the provenance of the songs on this collection — or, gods forbid, feels like making one of their own “from scratch” — please share you knowledge in the comments section!
