Vamonos Pa'l Monte

Independent shop in BallardDirections

Available from Light in the Attic Records when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Eddie Palmieri’s 1971 masterpiece Vámonos Pa’l Monte returns, featuring (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes and pressed on 180-gm vinyl. A landmark in salsa and Latin jazz, its impressive line-up includes Charlie Palmieri, Nicky Marrero, Ronnie Cuber, Alfredo “Chocolate” Armenteros and other legends. Fusing Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz, it delivers the political punch of “Revolt/La Libertad Logico” the joy of “Comparsa de los locos,” the timeless hit “Vámonos Pa’l Monte” and more.
