CANTA CHARLIE ROMERO
COMBO RECORDS #2005

This is an all around great record to own. Many tracks remind me of when I lived in Cali, Colombia. There's a copy of this record on-line, but recorded in bad quality. Good thing I have the record! I love the trumpet in "Alegria". Check this sample out...

The all time favorite corista off all artist in the 60's and 70's. Every time I read the credits on a record, I find Yayo in the chorus. His voice was simple amazing, it could easily be syntonize to any melody. On this opportunity I want to showcase a traxk called "Merecumbe, Cumbe". Take a listen my brotha!

Another gem waiting to be discovered. I love the musical arrangements and also the difference in rhythms. Ray Barretto produced it and Sammy Gonzalez along with Paquito Guzman on vocals. Overall, this is a record to own if you ever stumbled upon it. Check this amazing arrangement.

This is the result of a meeting between the best artist of Guadalupe . Recorded as a tribute to the Fania record label and Johnny Pacheco. This record recently sold on Ebay for $404. I don't really understand the price as it has only one good track. Could be that it's hard to find. Check out this Guaracha named after the record.
