Originally released in 1970 in Mexico. 70 by Perez Prado is an absolutely stellar set of songs that has a bit of everything you love all assembled in a way that sounds remarkably fresh and exciting on every tune. This is some seriously groove-oriented Latin soul with plenty of touches of the psychedelic sound that was en vogue at the time. Mostly instrumental, the album has, at its core, a funky sound that calls to mind The Meters, yet it's an incredibly diverse and sonically rich album (let's not forget Pérez Prado was called "The King of Mambo"): blaring horns, Latin percussion, jazzy flute, great organ work, bouncy bass lines, sparse, funky guitar and warbly psychedelic wah-wah all topped off with the occasional soulful grunts. Very highly recommended. Titles include "Simplemente Maria," "Traces," "Guada Guadaloupe," "Vuelveme A Querer," "Mexico 70," "Los Dos Laredos," "La Octavia Religion," "Fanny Bump," "Mambo Bump," and more.

A criminally-overlooked set of songs from Pérez Prado aka "The King of Mambo"). This boisterous record boasts an awesomely incessant Latin groove, driven, above all else, by the awesome percussion section and complemented perfectly by punchy horns and the group vocals. Put this one on at your next shindig and it's sure to get everyone moving! Titles include "Mambo A Go Go," "En El Mar A Go Go," "Caliente Caliente," "Fanny A Go Go," "La Mentira," "Te A Go Go," "Nina A Go Go," "Harlem A Go Go" and more.
