Recorded in 1978 with a totally banging rhythm section this lp is the best thing Bellson ever did. Completely on the case Bellson gathered the finest percussionists with the greatest afro cuban bass player Cachao and comitted this fantastic lp to wax.No more needs to be said - just download it !
This is ripped from vinyl but its also available on cd .One of my all time top 5.

Hi Bacoso,
Whenever I go searching for particular latin albums all over blogland, I always end up here in your rapidshare.de 2006 posts ...
Where WAS i then ? :)
And did you know one of the tracks was practically the theme for the Holiday Progtamme with Judith Chalmers.. Not bad for a Ballroom banger
This is so damn good. I never hear enough Moog Drum !

thanks simon
This was way off my radar first time around when you first posted it — didn't know what I was missing, did i?
'totally banging' is an understatement, this is just brilliant.
hugely appreciated bacoso — and thanks Simon for the reup; and reza too for the heads-up.
Had this up at NER when Bacoso took a vacation from this blog and let me do an OIR series ...
So, here is a Mediafire alternative from that time as well :
