No-nonsense salsa dura con inteligencia, fuerza y mucho swing. Led by composer and bongocero Francisco "Chalina" Alvarado, Conjunto La Perla de Ponce was formed in 1976 in, where else?, Ponce, Puerto Rico. Chalina was a member of the original Sonora Ponceña and, in fact, played on their legendary debut album Hacheros Pa' Un Palo. He also composed the hit "Moreno Soy" ("I Am Brown"), a statement regarding Puerto Rico's racial melting pot. Chalina, composer of over 200 songs, also worked with Impacto Crea and many royal figures in salsa.
