Re-Issued 2011
Editor's Pick:
These Afro-Boricua brothers from Brooklyn boogalued their way into the salsa scene, breaking through to the other side with their hit Salsa y Control on their sixth recording for the Cotique label. This, their seventh LP (the third for Fania after they bought out the local label), produced five winners, among them “Dulzura,” “Solamente Tu,” “La Envidia Y La Tumba,” “Como Son Las Cosas,” and “Moros y Cristianos.”
The “Lebrón Brothers” make for an interesting chapter in the history of Latin New York music. A truly talented family, all the compositions here are penned by brother José, who leads, arranges and plays piano. Although their records swung with the dancers and sold for the label, they suffered from lack of respect and recognition from the elder, more established musicians, who were, quite frankly, snobbish about the music and cliquish on the scene... - Aurora Flores
