Best salsa music of 2006 (so far)

I know it can take a while for hit salsa tracks to propogate their way around the salsa clubs of the world (I'm certainly still discovering hot tracks from 2005/2004), but what are people's favourite tracks (or albums) released so far in 2006?

I'll start the ball rolling...

Andy Montanez - Se le ve
La India - Cuando hieres a una mujer
Michael Stuart - No Soy Tu Marido (and quite a few other tracks on Back to da barrio)

En Mi Puertorro & Cuando No Es Juan, Es Juana - Andy Montanez - Salsaton: Salsa Con Reggaeton

Even though it's from 2005, Asi Gordito Me Quieren - Pedro Brull Y Tito Nieves - Pronosticos

I have to go through my collection, I buy every new Salsa CD that is released and when there is nothing new I buy the classics.

My favorites (repeating some other people have mentioned), limiting it mostly to salsa dancing oriented tracks (otherwise I might have to throw in a couple other MS songs):

Alfredo de la Fe - Somos Los Reyes Del Mundo [technically late 2005]
Guayacan Orquesta - ¡Ay Amor, Cuando Hablan Las Miradasi
Guayacan - Cambiaré por Ti
Guayacan - La Suerte Mia
Guayacan - No Sigas Pensando en Mi
Guayacan - Vete
Isidro Infante [canta Jose Alberto] - Pegaso
Isidro Infante [canta Herman Olivera] - El Pito
Gilberto Santa Rosa - Isla del Encanto
Michael Stuart - Mayor Que Yo
MS - Yo No Soy Tu Marido
MS - Pagame Lo Que Me Debes
MS - Vengo Guapeando
MS - Noche de Travesura
MS - Tu Me Vuelves Loco
Andy Montanez - Se le Ve
AM - En Mi Puertorro
AM - Parece Lluvía
Victor Manuelle - Vamos de Nuevo [cha cha cha]
VM - Puerto Rico 2006 [maybe]
VM - Hazme Sentir [maybe - mostly for the Sonora Poncena references and the guest violin by Mariano Morales]


At least one song from that Ismaelito Rivera/Rafaelito Cortijo CD, but I haven't identified the title yet (CD on the way). Also, some of the Little Johnny CD, but again, I am not familiar with it yet.

The new Bio Ritmo three-song EP, Salsa System sounds good! You can stream it at the Vinilemania. I think I would have liked their last album if it hadn't been for the seemingly random bursts of synthesizer that served no purpose except to evoke the inner feelings that would result from eating too many black beans. But this EP seems pretty solid.

And if you like good cuban salsa:

Michel Maza - Que Hablan, Los Habladores
Michel Maza - El colleccionista
Tirso Duarte - La Habana me quiere
Tirso Durarte - Timba Cubana
Maikel Blanco Y Salsa Mayor - Recoje Y Vete
Manolito Simonet Y Su Trabuco - Comunicate
