Caminando (album)
Caminando is a 1991 album by Rubén Blades, his first album after moving from Elektra to Sony International. The album was a critical and commercial success with Latin and salsa audiences, marking a temporary return to Blades earlier coro-heavy style which marked the collaborations with Willie Colón of a decade earlier on Fania. The album also reinstated the political content of his music, though some listeners still found the social criticism lacking. Blades new band for Sony, Son del Solar, includes four of the Seis del Solar members from his Elektra albums: percussionists Ralph Irizarry, Eddie Montalvo  and Robby Ameen with pianist Oscar Hernández. The album reached number three on the "Billboard" Tropical Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Tropical Latin Album in 1992. Track listing. The title track "Caminando", "Camaleón", and the trombone heavy "Prohibido olvidar," were released as singles. All songs are written by Blades. The song "Cipriano Armenteros" was also popular and became known as one of the first successful examples of "narrative-salsa" genre.
