Gladys Palmera introduces to you Loca Ilusion: Exciting Latin Sounds Compiled By Gladys Palmera, a unique compilation for its quality, selection, sound and taste. You will hardly find another compilation album like this one, where the best of Gladys Palmera's Colection is found and with the personal touch of Gladys herself, Alejandra Fierro Eleta. Here are different versions of well-known songs, surprising displays of vocal mastery, crazy jam sessions to immediately dance to, instrumentals full of virtuosity, gatherings of great music stars unnoticed until now and rare songs by artists who can only be found in Gladys Palmera´s archive. Gladys Palmera herself has spent hours and hours searching, listening to, choosing, selecting and refining each piece of music for all of us to enjoy. These are recordings from the '60s and '70s made in different cities in Latin America and with styles ranging from the most traditional Antillean folklore to mixes and combinations with jazz, swing, twist, exotic and bossa nova. Loca Ilusion: Exciting Latin Sounds Compiled by Glady Palmera is a production of Discos Gladys Palmera and a small sample of what is considered the best and biggest Afrolatin collection in the world. Featuring Orquesta Cimarron, Tongolote, Los Castro, Pepe Moreno y el Combo Los Bravos, Los Calvos, Chapuseaux y Damrion y su Conjunto, Eddie Cano & Jack Constanzo, Don Cunningham Quartet, Jesus Gomez y su Grupo, Tony Smith con Orquesta, Al Valdes y su Conjunto, and Moncho Leña y Los Ases del Ritmo.

Reissue of one of the lesser-known titles of the legendary catalog of the New York label SMC (Spanish Music Center). Highly sought-after among Latin music collectors, ideal for DJs specializing in Latin soul, boogaloo, salsa, Latin music, psychedelic sounds, and exotic music. It includes on the A side the theme "Let's Dance The Bugalú" (actually Boogaloo), featured in the New York dances of the late '60s, which demonstrates its validity; and "Aprende Mi Tumbao", a boogaloo-rock that begins as a guajira, Cuban rhythm perfect for intensity changes in discos and clubs. And on the side B two remixes of "Aprende Mi Tumbao" in charge of the best DJs today. The first is made by Andy Grey (resident DJ of Gladys Palmera) and Desi Calatayud (producer and sound designer); and the second, by Tiraya (selector, producer, percussionist).

Everyone is searching for it and Gladys Palmera Records have got it for you. Let's Dance The Bugalu/Aprende Mi Tumbao by The Guantanamo Boys, could be one of the most sought after records in recent times, a jewel produced in the late 1960s by Gabriel Oller, Latin music pioneer in the United States, now reissued by the Gladys Palmera label as its debut title. The passage of time has in no way lessened the power of this record's rhythm. On the contrary, today the Afro-Cuban + groove + funk + Latin soul sound that has taken it to cult status among collectors and DJs is connecting more than ever. Just ask the MCs and selectors who say that The Guantanamo Boys is the holy grail of Latin sessions. And its re-release has been a long time coming. Produced by Gabriel Oller as an EP on his SMC (Spanish Music Center) label, with no cover and scant mention of the participating artists, The Guantanamo Boys' 7"single was an amazing discovery for the team at the Gladys Palmera Collection, the most extensive collection of Afro-Latin music in the world. That's why Gladys Palmera Records reissued this record on vinyl, preserving the original sound and with attention to every detail of the recording, which features multi-instrumentalist Ray Fernández (known in the 1970s for his alternative salsa-funk band Ray and His Court; pianist and arranger Papi Peña (Conjunto Impacto) and singer Rubén Ríos, better known as Mr. Pachanga, Cuban music pioneer in the US. Edition of 300.
