Killer combo work from the great Joe Cuba a set recorded a few years before his big fame of the Latin Soul years but in a way that shows how Joe was already shaking up the Latin scene in New York! After a generation when larger bands were seen as better, Joe works here with just a sextet – yet packs more of a punch than a Latin lineup with more percussion and horns! And in a style that would already open the door to the Spanish Harlem generation, Joe features some English language vocals on the set sung by the young Jimmy Sabater replaced by the great Cheo Feliciano on the Spanish language tunes
