Someone hooked me up with a copy of this, which I know nothing about and have never heard of previously, and it's pretty good. There's a goofy party theme to it, but even that is handled okay. A cover of "Cisco Kid." Some great fast-paced vibes and flute stuff. I am just assuming it's from the 70's.

A crack set of early 70s Latin, played by "the cream of New York" -- a group that includes Louie Ramirez on piano, vibes, and organ, and Mauricio Smith on flute and sax! The whole album's pretty darn great, with a really strong jazzy touch -- thanks to great work by Ramirez and Smith -- and at some level, the feel of the record is similar to that of labelmates Ocho, with an equally righteous blend of styles. Most tracks have vocals, but the main focus is on the strong instrumentation -- and 2 cuts on the set are instrumentals. Titles include "Salta Perico", "El Party", "Quimbia", "Mi Pais", and a great funky cover of "Cisco Kid"!

Woah! That's the only record by eiher of them that I own. I got it the Gigante (a kind of Mexican K-Mart) in Puebla or somewhere in Mexico, in their discount bin. My brother made me get it, he was living there in the early-mid 80s I dug it, my friends all hated it.

that looks awesome
It figures.
Anyway, that's their best album together, from what I've heard of their work (and I don't think I've ever come across even one person who dissents from that view).
x-post:
The La Crema you mean? It actually is really good. It's not as crazy as the cover makes it look, but in the beginning there are people ringing a doorbell and coming in to the party, and then at the end there's party-leaving chatter as well. I didn't realize Louie Ramirez was involved until I Googled it, but I generally like him (as vibraphonist and as arranger/bandleader).

(Last post: WTF, a bit off-topic. tiit, I will get to this eventually. I remind you that it was your idea. In general, it's better to let me "go first" in a trade.)
