Willie Rodriguez had a long and successful career as a trumpeter and bandleader. His start, like so many New York musicians, was at Fonseca, whose recordings fostered the "hard sound" that would lead the transition from Boogaloo to Salsa. Of the many singers Rodriguez played with was the legendary singer Adalberto Santiago, featured on this LP. Santiago, too, would fulfill a long career in the spotlight of the New York Salsa scene, singing with Ray Baretto, Tipica 73, Los Kimbos, and The Fania All Stars.
