Though cleverly titled Greatest Hits, Vol. One, this set is actually a new catalog entry form the reggaeton innovator. Containing ten tracks, it features seven singles such as "Voy Berber," "Trevesuras," and "Curiosidad." In addition, the final three cuts offer skillful remixes of "Travesuras Remix" (with
J. Balvin, Zion, Archangel, and
De La Ghetto), "Piensas a Mi" with
Luigi 21 Plus, Yelsid, and
Jory), and "Voy a Berber" (with rapper
Nejo).
Jam, who in the 1990s was one of the first to really put hard reggae in reggaeton, now adds more than a little cumbia to the mix as well. Given the price tag -- and even if you have one or two of these singles in your possession -- this is an essential purchase. ~ Thom Jurek
