Mujer Brava

Description

The Holy Grail of underground salsa dura from 1970s New YorkBefore rock took over, Latin music ruled the underground scene. It was in the vibrant Nuyorican neighborhoods of the Bronx and East Harlem that, in the early 1970s, Orquesta La Super "C", led by the enigmatic conductor Vicente Guzman, was born. Remaining outside commercial circuits, the ensemble embodies all the raw energy of the street. Salsa dura in its most authentic form.Near fifty years after its release, this cult album, rare and long unavailable, is finally reborn. A powerful work, with raw, fast arrangements dominated by brass and abundant percussion, reflecting all the harshness and social consciousness of 1970s working-class Latino New York. Frenzied rhythms, designed to ignite dance floors, in the spirit of legendary Manhattan clubs like The Cheetah.Includes the New York classics "Mujer Brava," a masterpiece of salsa with a punchy sound, and "Se Fue Mi Negra," an essential anthem of underground salsa.
