This finely tuned musician has a lot to celebrate musically. We need to make room for him. Judging from his freshman solo CD, he can swing hard and with the very best of today's soneros including José "El Canario" Alberto. Admittedly, his arrangements possess that classic Puerto Rican salsa flavor, a sure way to engratiate salsa romatica lovers or attract radio play. This does not take away one step from the willing dancers. I only caution Mr. Martínez not to fall prey to cliché arrangements which too often lean toward salsa mongolica. His lyrics are modern and relevant today. They are intelligent and very clever. The "howl" you occassionally hear that punctuates his muscular vocals is original, what a nice signature for a new solo artist on the scene. I believe Mr. Martínez is a sonero we'll be hearing from a whole lot more in the future. I just hope he receives an appropriate amount of marketing and distribution for his caliber. "Ni Tiguerre Gallo ni Ni Pariguayo" says it all about the quality of his compositions and what I believe is to come. Every so often an artist appears on the scene, which you immediately recognize to be a great one in the making: Mr. Martínez certainly fits this bill. Don't hesitate to purchase this CD. Auuuu! ***** 5 Stars ************************************************************ **** Herencia Latina. 2005**************** Reviewer: Eric González e Israel Sánchez-Coll.***********Esta es una novedad:*** Un album de Discos Fuentes, grabado en Nueva York, Por Aris Martinez y Nelson Perez De Latribu Music. Con algunos de los músicos del género residentes en esa gran ciudad. El cantante y líder es Aris Martínez, en su segunda grabación como solista, y con “A Trombonazo Limpio” va por la maceta. El nombre de esta producción se debe a que los vientos que dominan la misma son los trombones, a manos de Pablo Santaella, aunque en algunos números también se incorporan las trompetas de Raúl Agraz y Joe King. Aris marca imediatamente su territorio con “Ni tiguere gallo ni pariguayo”. Le sigue una versión salsera del tema “Amigo”. Sin embargo, mis preferidas, además de la que abre el CD, son “¿Celos por qué?, “Qué pasa entre los dos”, y “No la vas a ganar (Así no se puede)”. Aunque en su mayoría Martínez escogió piezas de corte romántico, el cantante se aseguró de que los arreglos fueran agresivos al estilo Nueva York, inteligentemente removiendo de esa manera la “monguería”.Con otros músicos de calibre como José Mangual Jr., Papo Pepín, y Lucho Cueto participando en esta grabación, Martínez demuestra que respeta el pasado y va firmemente para el futuro.(EG)Este Album Es Un Palo De 5*********************************************************** ************************CD:Reviewed By www.Nestorlouis.com**************It's been almost ten years since Aris Martinez launched his debut record into the market. I liked that record. In fact, I reviewed it! The public unfortunately didn't catch on. They were some tough times the 90's, and to some degree - tougher than today. I mean, back in the early 90's competition was just way too strong. Salsa had a hugely diversed group of similar artists (did you catch the oxymoron?) to contend with, it was almost impossible to be different and be successful. Whatever else the multi-nationals threw at you, Jerry Rivera, Rey Ruiz, Victor Manuelle... You name it! Sony, RMM, or MP probably had it. Thus leaving very little room for smaller independent labels to make it. Fast forward to the present and you'll find Aris making a strong bid for your attention. Taking matters into his own hands, Aris is responsible for some of the most important parts of this record. From being the executive producer, along with Nelson Perez, to composing and arranging. It seems that no stone was left unturned by him. The record runs the gamut from aggressive to stylishly romantic. By that I don't mean boring, but fresh revisions of the forever amusing and always entertaining themes of love and love gone array. In fact, and this a personal note to Aris, he handles those themes so much better than those down-to-the-street-sonero-brawler-type-of-songs. The timber of his voice, the style, and the musical strengths showcased in this; his second record as a soloist, clearly give credence to that fact. Aris Martinez is a crooner with swing. Let's accept that fact and move on. This record, made with the help of la creme de la creme - Luisito Quintero, Raul Agraz , Pablo Santaella, Jose Tavarez, Papo Pepin, Harry Adorno, Jose Mangual Jr., among others; clearly proves that, and as such, it's a very good record that can easily be accompanied by a glass of Zinfandel, Merlot, Chablis, or straight up agua ardiente.
