This LP has puzzled collectors for decades: who *was* Steve Hernandez, the shadowy figure behind this powerful orchestra including top Puerto Rican and New York musicians? Arranged by Ray Santos and featuring vocalist Vitin Aviles, the album delivers a unique mix of mambo, boogaloo, descarga, proto-salsa, and 1950s big-band swing. A rare bridge between the Palladium sound and the emerging salsa era. Originally self-released and barely promoted, the record became a cult favorite among DJs and collectors. Sourced directly from the original master tapes, discovered in outstanding condition, this edition is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and includes extensive liner notes by Pablo E. Yglesias (DJ Bongohead) and a digital download code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Latin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: ROCAFORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack List: A1.
