Salsa Con Charanga
Salsa con charanga is really a feast for all salsa music lovers, a true jewel, which deserved much better when it originally came out in 1978.
In addition to being a great salsa album, it has the distinction of being released on Orfeon, a Mexican record label, due to the diligent work of the extraordinary producer Bobby Marin. This album miraculously received airplay when powerhouse Fania label and few others ruled the radio in the salsa music world.
It comprises eight great, solid tracks; some are new interpretations from other albums in which Mike Guagenti participated with his handsome and captivating voice - a crooner with a salsero soul. At times, his voice could remind us of the late Tito RodrĂguez and even Ray Ramos.
"The Mike Guagenti album," as indicated by Marin, "is a compilation of recordings by other artists. Originally a salsa album, I brought in [Cuban] Pupi Legarreta (violin and flute) and [Panamanian] Mauricio Smith (flute) to give it a charanga sound."
With the exception of the cut âSalsa con charanga,â which is an instrumental, the rest of the tracks feature vocals by Guagenti. Salsa con charanga has developed a cult following, and finding a copy of the original could be quite expensive. Luckily, this officially licensed and restored edition will fill that void.
