Editor's Pick:
We are happy to offer the new digitally remastered reissues from the classic salsa label, Fania. Brought to you by Emusica, which, over time, will be reissuing the entire catalog with improved sound and superb liner notes too - some of which are written by Descarga.com's own virtually resident scholar, John Child.
Many of these new reissues have been remastered by Jon Fausty or Bob Katz, so even if you already own the older CD version you might want to consider upgrading to the new improved edition. They're even less expensive than the originals were! Good news all around.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2006-07-15)

Reviews:
"Oh Knock Me Out! Ray's second on Fania." (Phil Riggio 98/99 Catalog)
"One of the great things about the Descarga Catalog is the memories it brings back. New York City, the 1970s, drums could be heard on the corners of 'El Barrio'and in the valleys of the projects. Ray Barretto inspired me and many of my colleagues with a band that literally took no prisoners. This album might seem like an odd choice to you true Barretto believers, but it features tremendous examples of the aggressive Cuban music with a New York City attitude and incredible solos by timbalero Orestes Vilato and Ray. The fusion of R&B with son montuno, which was known as boogaloo, is also well represented. Thanks for the memories Ray!!! " (Bobby Sanabria 98/99 Catalog)
