El DiablitoArtist: Caifanes
Community Score: 10.00
Caifanes has played a significant role in the "rock en espanol" movement of the late '80s and '90s. In contrast to the many Latin artists drawing on American pop, artists participating in this movement have been inspired by more hard-edged, guitar-minded rock & roll.

Señor CorazónArtist: Jose Luis Rodríguez
Community Score: 9.00
Rodriguez is a favorite from the big-pop school; his arrangements can be fresh as well as lush and (having a purely Latin audience) his international-Latin is a bit more Latin and a bit less international than that Iglesias fellow. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide

Punto de VistaArtist: Gilberto Santa Rosa
In his effort for the multinational label, Santa Rosa comes into his own, combining romantic and traditional salsa trends with excellent results. This very danceable recording helped Santa Rosa to gain great public appeal in the very early '90s; Jorge Luis Piloto's "No Me Dejes Solo" is a bomba that adds a breath of fresh air to the proceedings....
