This album is a symbol of the golden age of New York salsa and is an extremely important album that combines Latin funk, boogaloo, and Afro-Cuban jazz.
Ray Barretto is a Puerto Rican-American conga player and bandleader.
He was a central figure in the boogaloo boom of the late 60s, and this album shows him returning to his original sound after that boom while still allowing it to coexist.
