"The Alegre All Stars were the famed Alegre label's house band and this compilation brings you their best tracks. Charlie Palmieri, Johnny Pacheco, Kako, Bobby Rodriguez and other legendary Salsa musicians played key roles in their productions. In many ways, the Alegre All Stars paved the way and set the stage for what the Fania All Stars would accomplish during the '70s--and their music has not lost its vitality, freshness, relevance or verve. Classic 1960s New York "Salsa Dura" at its very best!"
