Saoco: Bomba Plena & the Roots of Salsa in 2 / Various on CD

The selection on this second volume expands it's repertoire to emphasize the variety of rhythms and styles that characterized many of the groups included in the first volume. It reveals a Puerto Rican production influenced by the sounds of Cuba and New York, but which also preserved it's own character and in which the island genres of bomba, plena, and mUsica campesina enjoyed their golden age. Includes extensive liner notes by compiler Yannis Ruel illustrated with original artwork and memorabilia.
