Album Notes & Community Reviews

The undisputed King of Timbales directs his formidable big band through a relentless, incredibly danceable set focused on the popular chachach谩 rhythm. The explosive brass charts and impeccably tight, multi-layered percussion sections highlight his absolute mastery of Afro-Cuban orchestration. It remains a foundational pillar of mid-century Latin dance music.
