Arsenio Rodriguez - Como se Goza en el Barrio. Havana & NYC recordings 1946-1962’
Grosso! Recordings
Arsenio Rodriguez, aka the ‘Marvellous Blind man’ is one of Latin music’s greatest unsung heroes. A true genius, he created the roots s of what eventually would become Salsa. He died poor and forgotten in the USA while the Fania record label made a fortune by using his tunes, without paying royalties. This double Vinyl is a compilation of some of his most known recordings, including the original Fuego en el 23. For those vinyl lovers, this is as good as it gets when it comes to Latin grooves, limited to only 500 copies.
