you like this stuff? Its PR folk troubador(sp?) music?!
Well, until last night, I'd never (consiously) listened to Puerto Rican folk music, but this was a childhood fave of a buddy of mine, and he couldn't find it anywhere on CD, and the only one he found on ebay was a vinyl. So we had a listening/transfer party last night, and I was really digging it. It's actually pretty damn funky in a lot of parts...there's lots of synths in it too though
That album must be different than their more traditional stuff. I know they tried to incorporate new sounds of the times (70s) when they recorded, but i have never heard them sound funky. I'll be on the lookout though!

yeah, there was no date on the label, but we deduced it was from '79 cause that's the date on the painting in the cover art - and don't get me wrong, it's still very folky, but there are parts where you hear that 70's funk rock sound sneaking in
speakin of Puerto Rican music, just got Night Walkers - El Gordo. some downright funky shit on there.
A fourth Night Walkers album?!?!?!? Have never heard of this one, please to post picture. What label?
Jorge! De Punta a Punta is classic Gran Combo material with Andy Montanez at his finest. Released in 1970-1, Gran Combo was way famous and packing them in at La Concha Hotel. I met Andy a few years ago at the Caribe Hilton drinking pina coladas by the pool, very nice dude. I was going to bring by my copy of Meneame los Mangos for him to sign, but good thing I didn't because he wasn't in the band at that time!
