Kako's New York After Hour Orchestra (aka) Alegre All-Stars - Tributo a Noro
This recording, titled, Kako's New York After Hour Orchestra is in reality, an Alegre All-Stars session. The change of name was made in order to avoid contractual problems. There are a few other recordings that were made of the Alegre All-Stars under various names: ( Kako's Puerto Rican All Stars; Cesta All Stars; Salsa All Stars). They are basically the same group and you may want to seek those out. Recorded in 1964. Buen Provecho.

Silvestre Mendez - Oriza
I first heard this album in 1960, I was 8-years old and remember well how this recording impacted the spirit of the drum in me. Most households in El Barrio, NYC had this record, along with Johnny Pacheco's, yellow, charanga album. Essential listening, enjoy.

Snowboy & The Latin Section - Descarga Mambito
An outstanding outing by Snowboy and company. Plenty of serious mambo and descargas and lotsa raw heat. From the opening number, this recording percolates with primal sensuality. This Snowboy and the Latin Section release is like being on a musical freight train at full speed ahead. They play thru intense mambos, mazacotes, rumba, descargas, latin-jazz, guaguanco, cha cha cha's, mozambique, percussion solos, powerful trombone and sax exchanges as if there was no tomorrow and that is exactly what mambo and descargas was and is all about anyway. They have taken the musical influences of Machito, Palmieri, Tjader, Puente, Noro Morales, etc. and have put together one hell of an album. It all comes at you with devotion and intensity, rhythms furious...the beat relentless...driving...pushing... syncopating melodies melding into each other...focused heat flowing white hot...your pulse quickens, becoming the music. The music moves you powerfully from within. Brief sensual interludes seem to appear out of nowhere but only long enough for one to catch a breath or two before the music intensifies...the passion grips you once again. Raw, sensual and primal, you can't help but to move your ass to this... and then just like that......you are released...as if to bask in the afterglow after an intense lovemaking session. The music comes to an end...but you want more. Soooo, you press replay and go again. Oh Yeah!Folks! This is a descarga classic. One of the best in decades!!! A gotta get.

Cafe Tambo vol. 7 - Navidad del Jibaro
The cover to this album depicts a scene of a cane cutter. The original black and white linocut was created by the Puerto Rican artist, Rafael Tufiño and entitled "El Cortador de Caña" (1950-51).I have, (over many hours), hand-painted this artwork but have purposely left the worker in black and white in order to better highlight the central figure of the artists statement. - Fernando Llanos.
