Grupo Latin Vibe es sinónimo de salsa fina de salón para el bailador y el salsero de buen gusto , no estoy de acuerdo con el comentario que hizo el señor Luigi Rivetti creo que exagero un poco diciendo que el cantante es pésimo y que puede hacer desaparecer la orquesta, a mi parecer el cantante tiene lo esencial no es grandes ligas como otros pero tampoco es malo o pésimo como quiso decir es bueno recordar que cada quien tiene su estilo propio al cantar o al tocar instrumento eso es lo que hace este genero tan maravilloso ese sin fin de variedad .
