Latin Power is Latin Soul – and the album is one of El Gran Combo's best from the boogaloo era! The tunes are heavy on English language lyrics, and include a few great remakes of Anglo pop and soul tunes – all given a Latin Soul spin with plenty of heavy rhythms on the bottom, fierce instrumentation in the middle, and vocals on the top from singers Pellin Rodriguez and Andy Montanez! Titles include versions of "This Magic Moment", "Build Me Up Buttercup", "Aquarius", "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me", and "Cinnamon" – plus the great Latin original "Mundy Baja". LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a split top seam, mostly split bottom seam, some wear & aging.)
Groovy! Julio Gutierrez is probably best known for his work on some of the early Cuban Jam Session LPs, but this great lost album from the late 60s has him leading a combo through a wild bunch of messed-up boogaloo and Latin Soul tunes that are just great! The band has a nice electric guitar, a female singer on some tracks, and a stone Latin groove throughout. The overall sound is a mix of many different 60s styles – Latin, soul, rock, and pop – and it's very fresh, and very entertaining. Includes versions of "A Man & A Woman", "Cast Your Fate To The Wind", and "Music To Watch Girls By" – plus the guitar-driven "Guiro", the groovy "Dance Go Go Girl", and the party-oriented "Ooooh . . . It's Happening Baby!" LP, Vinyl record album
(Original black label US pressing! Cover has a cutout hole in one corner, which is slightly bumped, and a small stain on back – but this is a great copy overall!)

Rolando La'serie/Tito Puente —
Pachanga In New York ... CD Gema/P-Vine (Japan), Early 1960s. Used ...
$29.99
One of the liveliest Tito Puente albums of the early 60s – a smoking set of pachanga tracks, done with lead vocals from Rolando Laserie! The groove is upbeat and lively, with stronger timbales than you'd usually find in a record of this style – a great Puente touch that really helps give the album a great sort of punch! Horn parts are nice too – not the usual pachanga mode on some tracks, and with more of the Tito jazzy sparkle from the RCA years – on titles that include "Flores Negras", "Para La Quimbamba", "El Pchanguero", "Malguena", "El Manisero", "Que Me Digan Feo", and "Marta". CD
(Cover has a small sticker at the top left corner, small tear with a bit of peeling at the opening, some heavy wear at the spine, and a name in pen and another in marker in back.)

Roberto Ledesma —
Para Enamorados ... LP Gema, Mid 60s. Very Good- ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Tight vocal material by Roberto Anglero and his crack little combo! The arrangements are nicely off-kilter, and feature some great piano parts, and the occasional horn riff that's put together with a strange edge to it – which makes for a very unique sound! Titles include "Salao", "Chan Con Con", "Rosa Blanca", "La Misma Vaina", and "Abicu". LP, Vinyl record album
A killer album of boogaloo tracks from El Gran Combo! The set's got loads of nice groovers with a feel that we like a lot better than their other albums, and the quality of the tracks is great! Titles include "Kiss My Nose", "Estas Liquidao", "Voy", "Going Out Of My Head", "Amor Confuso", "Pata Pata", and "Bomba Pa Rosa y Jose". LP, Vinyl record album
(70s yellow label pressing.)
