Description
The second release on Joe Bataan’s Ghetto Records imprint, and arguably the label’s most celebrated, this album captures the raw energy and musical ambition of early 1970s New York. Led by a young Bobby Rodríguez and featuring dynamic vocals by Papo Félix, it delivers a powerhouse mix of big band salsa, soulful grooves, and modal jazz reminiscent of Horace Silver.
This official reissue, fully licensed from Joe Bataan himself, is accompanied by a 15-page oversized booklet written by Pablo Yglesias. The liner notes dive deep into Bataan’s extraordinary life and the story behind Ghetto Records — the little Latin label that made a massive impact.
A definitive reissue of a Latin soul classic.
