Descarga Boricua - Salseando (2008)

Descarga Boricua, the brainchild of eclectic producer Fran' Ferrer, first hit the scene in 1993 with their hugely popular and critically acclaimed ¡Esta, Sí Va! project that was, arguably, the decade's best salsa release. This live performance, recorded in San Juan in 2007, musically directed by tresero Louis Garcia, brings Fania All Star composer and pianist Larry Harlow and trombonist Jimmy Bosch into the fold. Bosch never sounded better. And, damn, the singers are good: Adalberto Santiago, Hermán Olivera, Wichie Camacho, Ray De La Paz, Frankie Vazquez, Tito Allen, Darvel Garcia y Caco Senate.

Descarga Boricua - Esta Si Va (2008)

This 1993 release is centered around legendary Puerto Rican percussionist Angel 'Cachete' Maldonado and his hand picked colleagues performing in a variety of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Rican genres.
