Ah Yuri... In the boxes of the
Elysée-Montmartre (Paris, France) in 1995, you spoke to HOT SALSA
about your great project of an exceptional record, your eyes filled with light and your
crazy desire to make it. At the time, only salsa's aficionados knew you, already recognizing that you were a singer out of the common run for they appreciated you on stage... then one awaited the continuation. Today the little miracle is there: your CD is perfect, Télérama (a well-known French magazine about television and spectacles) quotes it like " an exceptional event ", and the French public opened its arms to you. Your confrontation with the greatest (" Ne me quitte pas"-"If you go away ", by Jacques Brel) is a rare pearl, and the remainder of the record is first-rate quality. Even the CD cover is beautiful, pretty rare in salsa, where kitsch often rivals with mediocrity... Keep on Yuri, you are going straightforwardly ! Stay in France, and... "Do not go away" ! |
