Eddie Palmieri's first recording with Tico label and third overall. Two classics Cafe and Tu Tu Ta Ta are present here. Nowhere else is the description of the elephants (referring to the trombones) more approriate than in this recording of Cafe, which made salsanewyork.com list for Cha Cha. Tu Tu Ta Ta is another slam dunk choice and also in salsanewyork.com list as Salsa.

Musician list is largely my conjecture although I'm reasonably confident of their accuracy.
