Video time again this time.... From the album "Johnny Pacheco -- Early Rhythms". "Clap Your Hands Cha Cha" Converted from stereo to mono....And with very cool results... The songs in this album was recorded in 1960 but apparently were not released until 1981. The material in this album is very different from Charanga of 1960s Pacheco or Salsa of later Pacheco. The sound instead is closer to a less frenetic Damaso Perez Prado or Machito and His Afro-Cubans. Most songs are Cha Cha (at least in tempo) except Mambo Inn and Sambia -- I think this may very well be the most danceable version of Sambia I have heard thus far. Musicians Johnny Pacheco / Percussion, Flute and members of the Machito Orchestra including Rene Hernandez / Piano alt. title: Mi Musica Es Para Ti Recorded 1960 LP Released 1981 Coco CD Reissued 2000 and 2002 Available at Amazon and others Produced by Rene Hernandez 1.
