Caminando (Walking) It is the name of the 10° studio album by Rubén Blades with Son Del Solar, his first album after moving from Elektra to Sony International published on May 28, 1991. The album was a critical and commercial success with Latin and salsa audiences, marking a temporary return to Blades earlier coro-heavy style which marked the collaborations with Willie Colón of a decade earlier on Fania.[1][2] The album also reinstated the political content of his music,[3] though some listeners still found the social criticism lacking.[4] Blades new band for Sony, Son del Solar, includes four of the Seis del Solar members from his Elektra albums: percussionists Ralph Irizarry, Eddie Montalvo and Robby Ameen with pianist Oscar Hernández. The album reached number three on the Billboard Tropical Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Tropical Latin Album in 1992.[5][6]
