Released pm Vampi-Soul, 2005 This set of music really cooks. VampiSoul is a cool label that puts out great music, but isn't exactly known for thorough packaging or notes. The blurb below the tracklist here is literally all we get. The lineup listed on the inside of the digipack is filled with heavy hitters, but probably not playing all the same time! But, the music is fantastic and that's what counts!!! 1. Ay Camino y Ven 2. Rareza del Siglo 3. Soy Feliz 4. Almendra 5. Peanut Vendor 6. Consulelate 7. El Sopon 8. Sono Sono 9. Guajira en "F" 10. Clo Clo Ki-Ki-Ri-Ki 11. Manteca 12. Los Dandies 13. Ensayo Pa'La Luna 14. Se Acabo lo Que Se Daba "Product Description" The first Alegre All Stars was recorded in 1961, and it became an immediate favorite of latin oriented musicians and the so-called "super-hip". The public did not take to it so rapidly, and it became a "sleeper". In retrospect we must remember it was released at the time when the latin record business was geared mostly for the "le lo lai" market (a typical Puerto Rico festival). Guitar music of trios and quartets were the thing then. The latin dance music of New York was limited to the connoisseur (i.e., D.J's, musicologists merchant marines and the Palladium crowd). Eventually it had its impact: it was loose, relaxed and it ventilated many brain cells. It blended latin and jazz, improvised yet melodically interesting because the soloists were not guessing, they were confident, they knew their horns, skins and tonsils and were playing and singing for themselves at a party. Not a recording session, a real party. Without charts, less restrictions and less organized, it was therefore freer to swing and be creative. Over the years the Alegre All Star albums have become "classics", and this album is a compilation of their best. Posted by Flabbergast Labels: Salsa
