LAZA, PEDRO Y SUS PELAYEROS - Rito Esclavo (Sealed) (LP)

Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl. First ever reissue of "Rito esclavo", Pedro Laza's eighth album as leader of Los Pelayeros, originally released on Discos Fuentes to great success in 1961. This early Fuentes classic LP is distinguished by high quality engineering that holds up brilliantly more than half a century later, with bright and deceptively intricate interlocking brass featuring a distinctive reed section, rolling tropical percussion and a wide variety of Caribbean rhythms from both Colombia (cumbia, porro, pasea?to, fandango) and Cuba (cha-cha-ch?, mambo)
