Along with his debut on Prucia Records, I would rate this the best Macario Prudencia album. Crackin Caribbean salsa from start to finish, not a dull moment in sight with the Continental Combo backing the master. Stron...

Cal Tjader gone funky on Mamblues later to feature as alternative take with Bernard Purdie on the Fritz The Cat soundtrack. Instant floorfiller. More clubby latin fun here though on the upbeat Bye Bye Love and This Ca...

Pleasantly surprised by this Chilean recording on ARC Music. The vocals tracks are not really doing it for me but the instrumentals are cool and breezy. Summertime stuff with a slight Balearic touch. Like new shape, s...

Mostly an all political folky affair but skip to the last track, Vamos A Ver, a song that has that little something to it. Can not put my finger on what it is but it is there.... that little something. Private pressin...
