Terrific charanga-salsa release led by percussionist ldefonso "Pito" Castillo (Adalberto Santiago, Jose Alberto “El Canario,” Bobby Rodriguez y La Compañia, Tito Allen...) and flautist-trombonist Joe De Jesus (Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, David Byrne...). Julio Salgado is the lead vocalist (Johnny Ortiz sings, too, on Tu Mago Personal) and he's backed by notable East Coast salsa veterans like violinist Lewis Kahn, Ruben Rodríguez and Luis Mangual Jr. This is solid, sabor-packed dance material rooted in Cuban dance traditions by way of New York.
