There's a dude I work with who travels everywhere in the facility with his tunes. Okay, there are more than a few dudes who do the same thing, but I'm not gonna write a blurb about some foo blasting AC/DC or METALLICA at work because....well....yawn, right? The dude in question is always upbeat, jogs around downtown in a sweatsuit before his shift starts and will frequently jog by the jobsite just to say what's up?!? to the folks who start earlier than him. He's the guy who makes friends with the folks from management without even trying - and they invite him to the private corporate soiree because they want him there. His tunes fit his demeanor always and as soon as I heard the opening bars of "Quiero Que Elijas El Lugar" I thought about watching his entire crew getting shit done with a sly smile on their faces and a pep in their collective step. Energy is infectious, and positive energy is contagious. The sounds of Dominican ALEX BUENO are both, particularly so on 1988's Con Fe y Sentimento, Bueno's first excursion with his Orquesta (highly recommend the earlier recordings with ORQUESTA LIBERACIÓN as well). The confidence of this then 25 year old singer is astounding, even though he was already several years into his career when this was released. Anyway - I'm gonna see that dude at work today, and I'm gonna play this when he's around....maybe I can spread a little bit of that good shit too for once.
