Cuban salsa star Isaac Delgado offers up a typically festive album with EN PRIMER PLANA, which garnered a Grammy nod in 2007. While Delgado's resonant vocals are clearly the main draw, PRIMER PLANA also boasts a guest appearance by singer Victor Manuelle (on the bright opening track, "La Mujer Que Mas Te Duele") and some nice licks from revered piano player Gonzalo Rubalcaba (see the highly percussive title track), making for a top-notch salsa outing.
