"After being a lead singer with the bands of Sonora Poncena and Ray Barretto, Tito Gomez recorded this Larry Harlow-produced album in 1977. The title track and the Ruben Blades-penned "Estas Caliente" are red-hot '70s Salsa dance tracks highlighted by hard-hitting percussion and powerful trumpet solos. Legendary musicians like Frank Malabe (congas), Orestes Vilato (timbales), Luis "Perico" Ortiz (trumpet), Sal Cuevas (bass) and Sonny Bravo (piano) all make this an irresistible and unforgettable trip back to Salsa's golden era. Tito's melancholic and wistful but upbeat vocals and witty improvisations are the icing on the cake. Enjoy!"
