All songs composed and arranged by Efrain "Mon" Rivera Castillo. Lluvia Con Nieve is a classic mambo-jazz hybrid and made salsanewyork.com honor list.

This album was also re-released under the title, "Mon Y Sus Trombones." In the original LP, no musicians were listed - partial lineup given here was listed by the producer Al Santiago (also the founder of Alegre Records) almost 30 years after the recording was made in 1991. Eddie Palmieri is supposed to have played piano in two tracks including Lluvia Con Nieve. Musician list in any case is incomplete - the obvious omission being the vanilla session conga player.

Musicians include

Charlie Palmieri / Piano
Eddie Palmieri / Piano
Barry Rogers / Trombone
Mark Weinstein / Trombone
Manolin Pazo / Trombone
Kako / Timbales
Leo Fleming / Bass
Mon Rivera / Vocals, Guiro
