Description
Arsenio Rodriguez y su Conjunto (1957), an irresistible Latin reissue, remastered from the original vinyl for superb stereo sound, original artwork, limited edition. These are the roots of the Latin sound that exploded into the salsa craze of the 70s. Includes the hits "Fuego en el 23", "Mami me gusto", "Carraguao alante" ... and more. Alright, let's talk about a legend. Arsenio Rodriguez, "El Ciego Maravilloso", the blind genius of the tres, basically rewrote the rulebook for Cuban music. He beefed up the band with conga, piano and a punchy trumpet section, and in doing so he shaped the son montuno sound that later fed straight into salsa. Yeah, that guy. This record, cut in 1957, catches Arsenio and his conjunto in full swing: tight grooves, fiery horns, and that raw, joyful energy that makes it impossible to sit still. Whether you're a longtime dancer, a collector, or just curious where all your favorite Latin rhythms came from, this is the place to start.
