Containing the necessary José "El Canario" Alberto classics like "Sueño Contigo," "Mis Amores," "Bailamos Otra," "Discúlpeme Señora," and "Hoy Quiero Confesar,"
Pura Salsa, released by Universal Music Latino, is a good and accurate representation of what the singer has contributed to the genre. But besides the hits, lesser-known, equally good songs ("Como Ellas Son," "Quiere Ser Mi Amante," "Hacerte Feliz," for example) from his albums (
On Time,
Sueño Contigo, and De Pueblo y Con Clase, respectively) make up the rest of the compilation, which means that
Pura Salsa moves itself away from some of the countless other "El Canario" best-of releases out there while still showing off everything he can do. ~ Marisa Brown
