The record
MGM's January 1966 session stacks the percussion section deep -- Patato Valdes and Jose Mangual alongside Melvin Lastie's cornet -- for a latin-soul date with real descarga muscle under the dance-floor logic. Bobby Rodriguez and Jon Hart split bass duties across the boogaloo-era arrangements.
