REVIEW:

 

Band Leader and timbalero Sammy DeLeon has been making Clevelanders move and groove in dance clubs since the mid 1980s, first with the popular Impacto Nuevo and for the last six years in front of his own band.  Now he'll be making those who stay home get off the couch, too.  As this debut record of hot salsa tracks and cool love ballads proves, you can't sit still when Sammy's playing, especially on the snaking "Contigo Y Sin Ti," written by DeLeon's lead singer Amil Nazario, and the Cuban dance classic "Baila Que Baila."  The playing and production are stellar throughout;  if it weren't for the address on the CD package, you'd never guess this release was local.
