Best Of

The Best of a commanding force in Latin music, Buenaventura cultivates a public-spirited edge and demeanor, in the manner of Silvio Rodriguez, Pablo Milanes or Ruben Blades. The one who made a home for salsa in France and made the unforgettable cover of Jacques Brel’s ‘Ne me quitte pas’ has many accolades to his name. Le Monde called him ‘A singer so full of life, a shining performer, an energetic salsero who is also a great composer of salsa’ Yuri Buenaventura is far more than just another salsero, it’s the breadth of his vision that’s astonishing. He can move easily from the Afro-Cuban “Afrotango” to lazy Parisian feel. With his expressive, malleable voice and his easy command of so much Latin music, Buenaventura is a remarkable singer and writer. Previously unreleased tracks include Donde Estas feat Orishas, Insansetez, and Vagabundo (remix)
