Straight to the roots of Cuban music! The legendary ARSENIO RODRIGUEZ was one of the true pioneers of Afro-Cuban son, helping to shape the powerful, rhythm-driven sound that would eventually develop into the salsa explosion of the 1970s. Originally released in 1957, "Arsenio Rodriguez Y Su Conjunto" captures the Cuban bandleader and his musicians delivering twelve irresistible slices of vintage Latin music, packed with infectious percussion, driving rhythms and plenty of Caribbean fire!

Featuring classics like "Hay Fuego En El 23", "Mami Me Gustó" and "Carraguao Alante", this is the real deal: old-school Cuban son, guaguancó and those unmistakable Afro-Cuban grooves that kept dancefloors moving long before salsa became a worldwide sensation. No modern studio tricks, just the sound of a pioneering musician and his conjunto doing their thing!

Reissued by Asere with the original artwork, remastered from an original vinyl copy and presented in a limited edition. A fine piece of Cuban musical history for collectors of vintage Latin, tropical rhythms and the roots of salsa!
