Pre-Order: Orquesta La Super C - Mujer Brava - Red [LP]

THE HOLY GRAIL OF 1970s UNDERGROUND NEW YORK SALSA DURA Before rock took over, Latin music ruled the underground and from the explosive 1970s Nuyorican barrios of the Bronx and East Harlem emerged the Orquesta La Super ""C"", conducted by the enigmatic bandleader Vicente Guzman. Never commercialised, pure street-level energy. This is Salsa Dura (Hard Salsa) at it's absolute finest. A rare, elusive underground powerhouse of an album is finally brought back to life after almost 50 years in obscurity. Raw, fast-paced, horn-heavy, and percussion-packed arrangements that captured the grit and social commentary of 1970s working-class Latino New York. Relentless, high-energy rhythms designed to pack club floors, reminiscent of legendary Manhattan venues like The Cheetah. Features the New York Hits * ""Mujer Brava"" (Title Track): A heavy-hitting masterpiece of aggressive instrumentation, sharp street storytelling, and fierce, unbridled energy. * ""Se Fue Mi Negra"": The quintessential underground salsa anthem. Fast-paced, explosive brass, and an enduring dancefloor favorite.
