Reviews:
"The late Rafael 'Chivirico' Dávila had a beautiful voice for either lead or coro and a good feeling for soneo. What’s less well known is his facility as a songwriter and his knowledge of bomba and plena. Cortijo is certainly a known quantity in this idiom; teaming him up with Chivirico’s vocals and Kako’s percussion produced one of the masterpieces of Afro-Puerto Rican music." (David M.
