Despite its profoundly stupid cover depicting a fake Santeria scene, Magia Antillana includes Moré's best-known hits. These were all recorded in Mexico early in his career with a variety of orchestras, most notably those of Rafael De Paz and Perez Prado. Perhaps most important, the album includes "Como Fue," and Moré's signature bolero and a tearjerker if there ever was one. The songs recorded with De Paz are his great uptempo romps "San Fernando," "Bonito Y Sabroso," and "Donde Estabas Tu." The latter has a campy drama heightened by De Paz's crackerjack horn section. "Pachito E'Che" is the best known of the tunes Moré recorded with Prado; it's punctuated with Prado's grunts and closes with his crazed piano vamps. Clearly, Moré was not meant to be the only center of attention. ~ Spencer Harrington, Rovi
