I'm not even going to mess with this one. It's Latin stuff, salsa, boogaloo, and afro cuban, and all hot shit. Most are from the Fania label, basically the Stax of sixties and seventies Latin music. Go to Mixtape Riot and dig on the excellent cross section. Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Joe Bataan, and more of that Fania mob. If you dig those, there's twelve more of similar vintage at Passion of the Weiss. And, to the guy on the fence about Latin music, I have a suggestion. You might want to relax and let it take you where it will.
The LP cover above is really just up there because I dig it, and because the title song, "Acid", is among the songs posted. Know this, it ain't no hippie acid.
