Editor's Pick:
Whoa! What an absolutely superb compilation of swinging vintage, and quite rare, Panamanian dance material from the '60s and '70s. I'll use the term salsa here with a broad stroke, 'cause the stuff you'll hear on this CD also encompasses Latin funk, ie boogalu, soul, jazzy descargas, calypso, and one of the coolest cumbia's you'll ever hear. Some of the featured bands may be familiar to hard core collectors but, quite honestly, only Bush y Sus Magnificos and Freddy y Sus Afro Latinos were known to this listener. Listen to the names of some of the other bands: Los Exagerados, The Exciters, Los Mozambiques, Los Silvertones, Papi Brandao y Sus Ejecutives, Maximo Rodriguez y Sus Estrellas Panameñas... sound cool? You have no idea just how cool this material is. Miles Cleret and Roberto Ernesto Gyemant, co-collaborators who compiled this material, have to be complimented on doing a first-class job. Pristine sound as well — something often lacking on compilations from this era. With excellent and detailed liner notes by Gyemant.
A sizzler, this one has found an almost permanent home on my CD platter. Pure listening pleasure. A must-have: Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2006-08-21)
