Album cover - a young Latino (Pacheco) is in Riverside park in New York, standing next to an old Civil War cannon on display there. He's playing timbales, and wearing a white shirt, brown pants, a bright yellow cardigan, and white sneakers and socks -- pretty hip for 1964. It's winter, because the trees in the background have no leaves. The lettering is in orange, red, yellow and black.

#latinsky #salsasky #vinyl Today is "catch up on Latin records" day. It's going to be a hot one! Charlie Palmieri & his Duboney Orchestra, Tengo Maquina y Voy a 60, Alegre, 1965 (1996 Japanese reissue).
I made this tasty peach red chili hot sauce and it's fucking delicious. I'm trying to decide if I should use chicken or pork to marinate with it. It was yummy with Carne Asada.
Any thoughts? 🤔

Album cover - an illustration of a red-brick New York tenement with the fire escape zigzagging down the middle, but with every window (eleven of them) revealing not apartments but tropical scenes: parrots, toucans, butterflies, a pangolin, and lush vegetation. The twelfth window is a clear blue sky, which continues above the roofline. A good metaphor for what Afro-Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Panamanian music (and people) brought to New York and thus the mainland US.

Does anyone else dance salsa? I’ve been doing it for about a year in a half and love it. I have a lot to work on (my steps are huge) but I’ve made pretty good progress since I first started
