As you can see it is an excellent collection of artists and songs. The performances are ok. Nothing special. A few dancers here and there and some fireworks towards the end. The camera tends to wander around a bit and often focuses too much on the crowd instead of the performers.

No special features and no widescreen. You do have the option to choose between Stereo and 5.1...however that doesn't seem to matter much as the biggest issue with this DVD is that the sound quality is horrible. I'd probably say that the quality of the audio is somewhere between that of AM and FM radio.

I greatly enjoy Merengue, Bachata and Salsa. But this DVD is disappointing! And that's simply because of the poor audio quality. My recommendation: look for a different DVD.

A Great Sample of Spanish-Caribbean Music Talent December 25, 2008

This video is an excellent sample of Spanish-Caribbean music. All the performers gave their best to thrilled us with salsa, merengue, bachata, and an unforgetable performance by Celia Cruz, Johnny Ventura, and Jose Alberto "El Canario". A great addition to any collection of dance music and entertaining.

Great Performances! A real tribute to a Dominican Legend! May 5, 2006
C. Lile (Charlotte, NC USA)
Great DVD / SOUND quality! Nice blend of Merengue, Bachata and Salsa. Would've liked to have seen more Concert footage surrounding the tribute to Johnny Ventura, after all it was 3 days of performances! Otherwise, this DVD makes a nice disc to have for any fan of Dominican music!
