Pablo Yglesias -- AKA DJ Bongohead -- compiles for Grosso Recordings an amazing series with classic tunes from Caribbean music that became great successes of "Salsa." Featuring Arsenio Rodríguez Y Su Conjunto, Orquesta Cosmopolita, Tito Puente Y Su Conjunto, Orquesta América del '55, Conjunto Jóvenes Del Cayo, Tito Rodríguez and His Orchestra, Cheo Marquetti Y Su Conjunto, Arsenio Rodríguez Y Su Conjunto, Silvestre Méndez, Conjunto Casino, La Gloria Matancera, Beny Moré Y Su Orquesta, Estrellas De Chocolate, and Chappottín Y Sus Estrellas.
"This is the fourth volume in our series on the Roots of Salsa. The main criterion was to pick tracks that sounded adequate for today's DJs to play at a gig or were sufficiently interesting (or enough of a surprise to fans of the later version) to merit inclusion. The other measuring stick was that they needed to come from the old-school, before the more modern era (from 1962 on) and all of its recording innovations and marketing strategies. For now, listen to these dozen gems and then go back to their more familiar cousins from recent times and compare and contrast, and we're sure you'll be enlightened and entertained." --Pablo E. Yglesias, aka DJ Bongohead
