2022 repress, red vinyl. Heavy salsa dura with old-school flavor. All originals with an all-star band. First time on vinyl for this 2008 salsa masterpiece. If you like the Fania classics, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Tito Puente, and Quintero's Salsa Project, you'll love Jesús Pagán Y Su Orquesta. It has been more than a dozen years since singer Jesús Pagán and his orchestra cut these eight "From The Roots" gems to reel-to-reel tape. When Jesús Pagán came to Peace & Rhythm with the idea of reissuing this album on vinyl, the label heads jumped at the chance since the original recording and art concept were both inspired by the old-school records of the youth. Contemporary salsa on vinyl is enjoying a rebirth these days so it's only logical that Salsa De La Mata would come out on wax, and what better partnership than between friends who have worked together on projects for many years? Here it is in all its glory: honest, authentic, original songs that still sound fresh after more than a decade. For those familiar with this release from its incarnation as a CD, you already know what we're talking about; for those who don't know, here you go, killer salsa, desde las raíces (from the roots)! Download card included.
