Controversia (album)

Controversia is an album by Danny Rivera, Vicente Carattini y Los Cantores de San Juan and Alpha IV.

The title song "Controversia" (Controversy) is about an argument between Danny and Vicente in which Vicente accuses Danny of stealing Christmas gigs from him by becoming a new Christmas-music singer.

For his next album Ofrenda he wanted vocalist Alma Galaza (who had been singing with Vicente for 8 years) to be a special guest vocalist, but only if she quit Vicente and his group.

Alma went with Danny with whom she recorded several albums and toured for several years.

The rights for this and other albums by Danny were bought by Disco Hit which in 2004 released a best of compilation called "20 Exitos Navideños" ("20 Christmas Hits") which included 6 songs from Controversia and other songs from Ofrenda, Mi Canción es Paz and Pido Paz.
