I love Ruben Blades! I will start the review soon. Basilisk4u (talk) 05:24, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notes[edit]

Intro[edit]

"Nine had been previously recorded by him" --> "He had previously recorded nine of the songs" sounds a little better

"The main inspiration for Blades to record the album was his admiration for the work..." --> "Blades' principal inspiration for the album was his admiration..."

Background[edit]

Looks good!

Repertoire and recording[edit]

I would begin the "Rubén [Blades] always contributes with innovative ideas" quote with an introduction, something like "Delgado said of the creative process "[insert quote]"

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"and some musicians played two or more instruments, 'so it will be necessary to hire local musicians while on tour, to be faithful to its original sound.'", this quote seems to be unrelated to the rest of the sentence. Maybe clarify it a bit.

Can you help me with this one, I do not know how to clarify this. Javier Espinoza (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I made it into two sentences because I felt that they were two separate ideas. Basilisk4u (talk) 13:01, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

No concerns here.

Overall[edit]

This is a great article overall. I will put the review on hold for concerns to be addressed. Good job! Basilisk4u (talk) 22:23, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Javier Espinoza (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article is very close to passing, but I was wondering if you could add a couple music samples? I always feel that those improve the article greatly for people who haven't listened to the music before. Basilisk4u (talk) 13:01, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome job, passing the article now. Basilisk4u (talk) 15:44, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
