Rumba Collection: 1992-1997 is an excellent summation of Ottmar Liebert's rumba recordings of the '90s, capturing some of his very best performances of the decade. Ten of these tracks are drawn from his popular albums for Epic -- Solo Para Ti, The House Between Night and Day, Viva! and Opium -- while two other cuts are previously unreleased: an edited version of "Tremulo" and a "speed merengue" version of "Barcelona Nights." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
