For the next reissue in the Cuban Classics series from Mr Bongo, we turn to the enchanting instrumental album by Raúl Gómez from 1977. Featuring a unique blend of orchestral disco and jazz-funk, with Afro-Cuban flavors and sound influences, it is rich in drum breaks, energy, and evolving compositions. A record that always keeps you on the edge of your seat, driven by an exemplary orchestra at the height of its art.
