3. Suavecito 5:45 (Ignacio Piniero)
4. Baile De Ochun 6:25 (Louie Ramirez)
5. Seduction 6:58 (Louie Ramirez)

8. Pare Cochero 4:34 (Marcelino Guerra)

Geisha Girl and Bamboleate were recorded live at the 1988 Montreal Jazz Festival. The other six tracks are studio recordings - presumably from late 1980s or early 1990s.

Arrangements by Ricky Gonzalez (1), Louie Ramirez (2,4,5,6,7), Willie Rodriguez (3,8).

My best guess is that three of the songs here made salsanewyork.com list - Geisha Girl, Bamboleate, and Pare Cochero (pending typos). It's a nice pleasant sounding album. Geisha Girl and Bamboleate have crowd noise, but they're not too bad. Baile De Ochun is re-working of Sid's Groove - one of several example of Louie Ramirez recycling his old songs.
