First time reissue. Originally released in 1966. First solo LP by the talented Peruvian artist Betico Salas, lead trumpet player of the great Sonora de Lucho Macedo, one of the best ensembles playing Cuban repertoires in the early '60s. Alfredo Linares on piano and sonero vocals by Benny del Solar stand out on this album. Benny del Solar sings lead vocals on the cumbia of Argentine origin "Nos Vamos A Casar"; the Colombian "Lo Que Pasa Es Que La Banda Está Borracha", a continental hit since the early sixties; the guaracha "A Los Muchachos De Belén", by Puerto Rican musician Tito Rodríguez; the guaracha "Ritmo Del Amor"; the elegant Cuban guaguancó "Así Namá", also well known for Tito Rodríguez's rendition; and the cumbia "Qué Le Digo A Mi Mujer". Singer, César Gonzales, who would have an extensive career in Peruvian tropical music, sang lead vocals in the guaguancó by the Sonora Matancera "Lindo Omelenko" and the bolero "El Árbol", a hit for the singer Roberto Ledesma, also recorded that same year by Peruvians Carmita Jiménez, Anamelba, Raul del Mar, and Lucho Macedo himself, who decided to sing for his new record label. The mythical singer Johnny Arce, years later known as Mr. Macondo, also appears on the album on the two guarachas: "La Renga", a composition by Esther Forero, known as "La novia de Barranquilla"; and "Yo Soy Candela", a composition by the Colombian Ray Rodríguez. Finally, "La Chola" is a cumbia by Peruvian composer Tomás Benítez; and "Mambo Jazz" is a version of the descarga "Yayi's Instant Mambo", an innovative instrumental track performed by Puerto Rican Willie Rosario, who recorded it in the United States at the start of 1966 with his own orchestra. Betico Salas would later release two more albums and become a legendary trumpet player in Peruvian musical history.
