Album PR 1975 on Melon Records label
Latin (Salsa, Bolero, Cha-cha-cha, Guaguancó)
Review by Jose A. Estevez, Jr. The band's third recorded effort is still light years ahead of the polished sound that they would gain through time and experience. It is mainly an exercise of opportunity, as well as trumpet player Luisito Ayala's first outing as a bandleader. The repertoire is quite unpretentious, but it is still fun to listen to. Regardless of how dated the band might sound, tunes like "Las Elecciones," "En la Oscuridad," and "Guajira del Monte" are diverting samples of a band in their embryonic stage. Vocals by Pedro Sanz.
