Considered one of the greatest salsa singers in history, Ismael Rivera released an essential album in 1972, 'Esto Fue Lo Que Trajo El Barco', his first recording with his beloved group, Los Cachimbos.
Feverish, festive, spiritual, and introspective all at once, its ten tracks, arranged by Cuban pianist Javier Vázquez, constitute one of the peaks in the tormented career of a master of vocal improvisation. The masterpiece of a 'Sonero mayor' ("major singer"), to use the nickname of the performer of 'Dime Por Qué' and the irresistible Afro-Cuban reinterpretation of the standard 'Mah Na Mah Na'.
