Synopsis

Product Description
This collection is a production of historic undertaking and spans the
development of Afro-Caribbean music (roughly) from 1960 to the end
of the 20th century. The intensity of these sounds is likely to take your
breath away. The most complete of all Latin music genres, salsa delivers
a poignant chronicle of the Latin American experience in all its beauty
and endless contradictions. The songs on this collection are not only
happy. They are also mournful, nostalgic, epic, rebellious, sensuous,
angry, sweet, bitter, wistful and tough. From Héctor Lavoe and Ray Barretto to Charlie Palmieri and Frankie Ruiz, some of the artists celebrated on this anthology are no longer with us. But many of them are still alive. And all of them remain, to a lesser or greater extent, sadly underappreciated. Hopefully, the tracks on this set will allow us to discover and cherish the singers and musicians who are still out there, keeping the spirit of
salsa alive. This collection is dedicated to their superb musicianship and includes 56 tracks and 48 pages of liner notes.
