By the time of this album, Victor Manuelle had long been a household name in Latin music circles, carving out an individualistic path as a salsero with a energetically rough-hewn vocal style that's matched on LE PREGUNTABA A LA LUNA by Jorge Fonseca's tight, brass-heavy production. The insidiously danceable "En Nombre De Los Dos" makes for a subtle opener, but Manuelle really hits his stride with "El Tonto Que No Te Olvido," which snakes its way through four-and-a-half minutes of punchy, brassy excitement. "Ella" starts out in a down-tempo vein, transforming itself almost imperceptibly into yet another hot rhythm track. In fact, the beat barely lets up over the length of LE PREGUNTABA A LA LUNA, a state of affairs that won't be lost on Victor Manuelle's many fans. To cap it all, there's one-stop-shopping for sports and salsa fans in "Sabor A Beisbol," a pulsating salute to Latin baseball and its stars.
