 Now here's a collector's item worth collecting: A treasure trove of classic salsa/son-montuno/descarga jams as typified by the much respected New York based Nosotros. Originally from 1981, this session is released here for the first time ever. I repeat: it has never been released prior. It's one of only two records produced by the band (the other, originally on Vaya and produced by Louie Ramirez in 1979, is currently out-of-print). Alvarez' clear, robust, voice is just right to navigate his working club band of musicians which include the likes of bassist Russell "Skee" Farnsworth, trumpeter Gordon Tomasin, conguero Gene Golden among others. Heavy, heavy swing is everywhere on Los Barbaros Del Ritmo.

 A rough-hewn salsa dura record from Chicago. It looks to classic 70s Fania era salsa for its cues (though it swings over an electric bass). A good party record with a nostalgic feel to it, with good singers cutting through the coro and montunos that have a stretched out modal feel to them. Nice unpretentious production that sounds as if the band's fun to experience live.

 You may be asking yourself, “Who on earth is Orquesta Dee Jay?” Some Latin music enthusiasts are still asking that question today.
There is something interesting about this Orquesta. Orquesta Dee Jay has an authentic swinging soul sound in their salsa not only in their lyrics but in their music arrangements. There is no question, the album “Forget it” should have won a Grammy in my book for best swinging Latin Salsa, best single “Forget it” and best coro in the 70s by Yayo El Indio, Adaberlto Santiago & Elio Romero. Every track on this album is a killer. www.cdbaby.com
