Great compilation of tracks from the New York Latin scene at the end of the 60s! The collection does a great job of mixing together some of the key favorites from the classic Fania catalog with a few other bits that haven't been reissued before. Showing the blend of soul, funk, and Latin that was going down in the Spanish Harlem scene during these crucial years. Nice!!
