Johnny Pacheco – Pacheco At The N.Y. World’s Fair
Vinyl rip in 24-bit/192 kHz | FLAC | 300 dpi | Latin, Salsa
1964 Fania LP-326 || Mono gold label
Because everything sucks right now except my record collection. Nothing provocative, depressing, nor spooky (this being Halloween and all) but rather uplifting and invigorating. This is great early work from Maestro Pacheco, released within the first year of Fania Records’ life as a company that would cast a long shadow in the decades to come. It features a lead vocal (on most tracks) from Pete Rodriguez before his breakout hit “I Like It Like That”. A couple of tracks feature the Cuban singer Ramon ‘Monguito’ Sardiñas in that role. The rest of the personnel is not noted anywhere I can find, feel free to leave a comment if you happen to know who played on this.

thanks again!!!
Merci beaucoup !
Hi my friend. You mention: Pete Rodriguez before his breakout hit “I Like It Like That”
However, the main vocal in this album is Pete “el Conde” Rodriguez, not to be confused with Pete Rodriguez who in fact released “I like it Like That.
Oh boy, what a rookie error! I’m not sure what I was thinking. I don’t think the boogaloo Pete had much of a music career outside that genre, did he? Thanks for catching this and I will revise the description accordingly 😉
I think when the boogaloo was fading, many artists (if not all) of them who were into it had to start recording something else.
I do know a song sung by Rubén Blades when he was quite young singing for Mr. Pete Rodríguez in one of his recordings, and it isn’t boogaloo but the most popular son montuno (what most people would call salsa).
