Louie Ramirez is credited for arrangement (1,12), musician (all songs), composer (all except track 1 (S. Mendez), 2 (B. Marin), 12 (M. Guerra), 16 (N. Morales) - I'm guessing Bobby Marin, Marcelino Guerra, and Noro Morales but not sure about S. Mendez).

Chin Chon Chow made salsanewyork.com list as Cha Cha. Other good songs for Salsa include Violent's Guaguanco and La Flauta.
