Repress 2021!!First ever reissue of "A la memoria del muerto" (1972),
Fruko y sus Tesos' second album, featuring the soaring and soulful
vocals of Cali native Edulfamid Molina Díaz, aka "Píper
Pimienta".Produced by Fruko's uncle Mario "Pachanga" Rincón, the LP has
an uncompromisingly stark, hard sound that is appealing to today's
collectors of 'salsa brava' just as it was impactful on the Colombian
scene when it was made. Unlike the first Tesos album, with a two-trumpet
line-up and fairly simple arrangements, this more mature recording
added another trumpet and two trombones for a more robust brass attack.
Additionally, instead of basic salsa, there are many different rhythms -
guaguancó, bomba, plena, oriza, bolero, cha-cha-chá, descarga and Latin
soul.Includes the bonus track 'Tihuanaco' (a cover of Peruvian pianist
Alfredito Linares), which appeared on the US edition of the LP.Presented
in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl.
