Description

Pianist Gil Suarez formed his band the Hi-Latins in 1965. This is his 3rd LP, recorded Novemeber 15, 1967 and released in early 1968. It's a collection of shing-a-lings, boogalu, a bolero, a guaguanco, a bomba and even a guajira. This is before the salsa era stopped identifying the rhythms of the songs....Mike Rivera is the sonero and Oscar Garcia plays vibes. Gil wrote "Suavito" which Johnny Pacheco used as his theme song after scoring a cross over hit with the Suarez tune., he was also a first call arranger. Max Salazar wrote the liner notes. Noted musician Johnny Albino produced the session.
