about

Este disco debut de 1974 a cargo de la banda colombiana de salsa The Latin Brothers, repleto de sonidos de trombones, sigue siendo uno de los discos favoritos entre los aficionados a la salsa dura de todo el mundo..

Contando con Píper Pimienta en la parte vocal y el respaldo instrumental de Fruko y miembros de su banda Los Tesos, The Latin Brothers inspirarían a grupos colombianos de salsa posteriores como el Grupo Niche así como establecerían a Medellín con un enclave esencial para la salsa, casi tan famoso como Cali.

Esta cuidada reedición incluye también un corte extra, ‘Echa pa’ lante camará’, no disponible en ninguno de sus álbumes. Prensaje en vinilo de 180 gr.

-------------------------------------------------

This 1974 debut album by heavy-duty trombone-centric Colombian salsa group The Latin Brothers remains a favorite the world over to this day.

Featuring the soaring vocals of Píper Pimienta and backing of Fruko with members of his band Los Tesos, The Latin Brothers would inspire future Colombian salsa orchestras like Grupo Niche as well as helping establish Medellín as a center of salsa almost as famous as Cali.

Filled with lesser-known dance floor classics, this remastered edition also contains the non-LP bonus track ‘Echa pa’ lante camará’.

180g vinyl.
