If the dark, smoky Bronx Casino in N.Y. were a cauldron, then Johnny "El Bravo" Lopez and his Super Combo would be the witch doctors who could bring its contents to a boil at will with fiery guarachas like "Yo Soy De Los Bravos," "El Melon," "Me Cole," and "Langosta Langostin." Just a short listen to these club hits reveals how they could inspire such a surge of raw energy on the dance floor: they—not unlike the prospect of death—excite something primal in the body and mind and remind one how it feels to truly be alive.

I’d like to see and hear more Reynaldo Latin Raers….thanks.
This sh-t’s hot!
I like the Reynaldo reviews – they sound
like old-school liner notes.
this is awesome. how difficult would it be to track a copy of this record down?
he recorded some KILLER boogaloo lp’s for local (miami) velvet label in the 60′s and salsa in the 70′s..
