50th Anniversary 180g Vinyl LP Reissue All-Analogue Mastered from the Original Tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and Pressed at Memphis Record Pressing!

A master of the congas, Ray Barretto had a particularly wide-ranging and episodic career. As a bandleader, he headed groups that performed Afro-Cuban jazz and others that specialized in salsa. As a sideman in the 1950s, Barretto was one of the first to show that the congas could be a viable part of jazz combos that played bebop rather than Latin music. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of its release, this 180g vinyl LP reissue of 1970's Barretto Power features all-analogue mastering from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and was pressed at Memphis Record Pressing. Unavailable on vinyl since its original release, the album includes such Latin soul and salsa classics as "Right On," and "Oye La Noticia."
