Yuri Buenaventura's album, Cita Con La Luz, brings twelve tracks (plus a hidden one) all essentially recorded in Yuri’s native Colombia, in Bogota, and, for the first time, Cuba. Much more than just a salsero, Yuri confirms his talent as an all-round singer with styles ranging from jazz to ballad.., and even forays into hip-hop and folk, the result of his more audacious partnerships.

Hidden somewhere on this album is a bonus track with a provocative title: Los Cobardes (The Cowards), an incitement to... let go and enjoy a descarga, a Latino jam session. Its ten minutes and builds into a frenzy, led by fiery Cuban drummer Horacio El Negro Hernandez, a postscript to remind us that Yuri Buenaventurats last album’s 'salsa dura' is still part of his heritage.
