Review

An impressive array of tropical music vets lined up to back this young and modern sonero's sophomore effort. Stuart's Cuentos de la Vecindad debut sold gold, and this set, showcasing an even more refined, mature Stuart, should easily exceed that achievement. The current resurgence of the highly romantic Latin style known as son is due, in large part, to this generation of arrangers and singers like Stuart, who spice up the classic form's languorous sweetness with fiery contemporary salsa rhythms, rendering love songs like "Nina Bella" more turntable compatible with the electrifying rhythms that are pulling more and more people--Anglos and Latinos alike--into stateside salsa dance clubs. Happily falling in with another contemporary trend in tropical music, Stuart, who was born in New York of Puerto Rican parents, also touches on a diverse array of non-Latino forms, blending his rich, exquisitely throbbing tenor and salsa sensibilities with rock, R&B, and urban dance. With gifted eclectics like Stuart leading the way, it shouldn't be long before the walls come down and salsa is heard not just in Latino venues, but in the club mixes of equally adventurous Yanqui deejays. --Elena Oumano
