Impacto Crea - Bongo Bongo

This album, originally released in 1973, the premier recording by "Impacto Crea", a band which emerged from a drug addiction re-education project, features the voices of Frankie Hernandez, former singer for the Bobby Valentin Orchestra (whose handiwork as recording director played a vital part to the success of this album) and Fania All Star Cheo Feliciano on "Que Es Lo Que Pasa" and "Quierela." The renowned trombonist, Reinaldo Jorge, also played a big part in this production. Moreover, it was re-mixed by Fania All Star, Larry Harlow.
Quite an impressive cast of characters, wouldn't you say? The album kicks off with a pleasing Bossa Nova entitled "El Mensaje" then swings all the way through to the final rendition on the album, "El Arrepentido," a danceable arrangement that cooks throughout and features an exceptional solo by bongocero Francisco Alvarado. The rest of the album's repertoire will delight the Latin music lover as well

Soy Cubano, pero esta música Boricua me da un hard on. Ese bajo, esa percusión, esos vocalistas, esas trompetas.

Indescutiblemente uno de los mejores de Frankie Hernandez, que en paz descanse.
