Rafi Jr Y La Diferente - La Diferente






I picked up this splendid bit of Nuyorican salsa at the local boot sale a few weeks ago and it is a winner from start to finish.  Sunshine music to lift the spirit and move the body.
Rafi Valenzuela was a timbal playes and leader of La Diferente - a small group of  Puerto Rican players who released this lp (which was produced by salsa legends Willie Colón and Johnny Pacheco) in 1971.

Bandolero - Bandolero (Fuzzy psych from Puerto Rico 1970)



Excellent psychedelic-garage-blues jam from this Puerto Rican group. The album was released in 1970 and its full of fuzzy treats, all wailing guitar and screaming hammond...like Moby Grape with congas. I'm loving this at the moment and I hope you do to.


Tracklist:

01 I Got It
02 Ternura
03 Love Me Tonight
04 Don't Hang Me
05 I Can Always Think Of You
06 Salsa Friquea
07 Together
08 My Life Is Always Going Through Changes
09 I Want To Get There
10 Awake
11 Truth An Understanding
