Negative Positive
Title: A real gem
Review: This recording featured a then-unknown, clear-voiced Jose Alberto in his debut album as a vocalist. He's at his best. The album features an all-star chorus with Adalberto Santiago, Ruben Blades, and Yayo el Indio. Listening to the songs brings back fond memories from the fall of 1976 when I was a 19 year-old in college. Characteristics of this album: sharp arrangements, excellent vocals, catchy lyrics, danceable songs, large big-band type orchestra, a real tight sound. Pity that this, to my knowledge, was (formany years) the only album recorded by timbalero Tito Rodriguez Jr. It's a personal favorite, and I am no newbie because I've been listening to salsa and the likes of Palmieri, Barretto, Pacheco, etc since the boogaloo days of 1967. There isn't a single filler in this one, fellow salseros!
