Two delicious boogaloo cuts from this legendary bandleader from Puerto Rico, also to be found on the Boogaloo Pow Wow compilation released by Damon Albarn’s slightly fantastic Honest Jon’s imprint. “Calypso Blues” is a version of Nat King Cole‘s hit, “Shining Knight” is a track written by Bobby Marín.
Video of Rosario classic “Lluvia” played live.
