A ground-breaking album when it was released, this still is the best album made by the Spanish Harlem Orchestra because its success led to bands revisiting roots of Salsa/Mambo. I actually bought their second album "Across 110st" prior to buying this album, and I still think this one is much better. Three Salsa (Mama Guela, La Music Es Mi Vida, Somos Iguales) made salsanewyork.com list. The whole album is good for listening and dancing.
