All songs written and arranged by Israel Lopez “Cachao” except (1) written by Ignacio Cervantes, (6) written by Israel Lopez “Cachao” and Rafael Ortiz, (7) traditional arranged by Israel Lopez “Cachao” and Juanito Marquez, (10,13) traditional.

The overtone of the album is very similar to the previous Master Sessions Volume 1 except there aren't any obvious dance tracks as is in my opinion.
