Solo Contigo LP

Sólo Contigo caught Víctor Manuelle right as he was becoming one of salsa romántica's defining voices, his second album, from 1994, by the singer they nicknamed El Sonero de la Juventud. He'd started out as a teenager impressing Gilberto Santa Rosa at a high school concert, got pulled in as a backup singer under bandleader Don Periñón, and debuted the year before with Justo a Tiempo before this early breakthrough built toward the number-one albums that came later in the decade. Pressed now on 140-gram vinyl through Sony U.S. Latin.
