JOSE CURBELO Y SU ORQUESTA - LOS REYES DEL MAMBO

CARINO RECORDS
DBM1-5809

I rarely get the opportunity to hold a jewel as this. Originally recorded for RCA Victor Records in Cuba from 1946 to 1947. The original RCA record is extremely valuable because of its musician integration. On piano & leadership is Jose Curbelo who at the tender age of 16 started playing professionally with different bands around Havana. Tito Rodriguez, seen on the cover at a very young age was the undisputed sonero & bolerista of all times. His sense of timing in La Guaracha, La Rumba, and Son Montuno and his velvet smooth approach to the bolero were unequaled. The King of Latin Music, Tito Puente. Outstanding musician, writer, arranger and bandleader was the creative spark and influence to many Latin artist. I can run out space describing this incredible and valuable piece of Latin music history. Listen to these.....

This is the post of the year for many reasons. The first reason I wont share with you, however the second I will. This is simply an amazing 45 with super hard, hard Guaguanco on both sides. This 45 sold on Ebay for over $100; too much money for a 45 in my opinion! but almost worth the money. I will sample both tracks of this rare & amazing collectors items. Check it out...

Kim De Los Santos, successful Salsa Romantica vocalist from the late 80's is presented here in his debut album. Although recorded in 1980, this records holds a Guaguanco sound from the previous decade. I enjoyed the musical arrangement in "Levantate Adrian". Check it out....
