Acid (1968), legendary percussionist Ray Barretto's debut album for Fania, uniquely fuses salsa, Latin soul, funk, and Afro-Cuban jazz with an unparalleled energy. From the fiery boogaloo ("A Deeper Shade of Soul") to the danceable guaracha ("Sola te Dejaré"), the album culminates with "Espíritu Libre," where bembe percussion and hypnotic melodies celebrate African roots. A timeless classic, pressed on 180g vinyl, which restores all the analog power of the original.
