A very wild album from Ricardo Ray.

A very wild album from Ricardo Ray -sort of a mix of Latin soul styles in the mode of work by Mongo Santamaria, but a lot more messed up! The album’s got a number of 60s soul covers- but they’re done here by Ricardo in kind of a party Latin mode, touched with a bit of garage soul vocals, in a way that makes the whole album quite upbeat and playful throughout -filled with non-stop groovers that keep on delivering the goods! Our favorite cut is the original “Soul Mexico”, which has this storming chanting verse, that then unwinds into a totally catchy chorus with overlapping melodic lines- but the whole album’s great, and other tracks include “Ya Ya”, “I Want You To Be My Girl”, “Mony Mony”, “Shout”, and “Soul Man”.

Ricardo Ray, quien también publicó un buen número de discos bajo el nombre de Richie Ray, es una de las figuras más interesantes de la música latina de los 60's y de los primeros 70's. Una verdadera institución en la historia de la música latina más bailonga, aquella que pasó a llamarse Boogaloo. Neoyorquino, hijo de puertorriqueños, se convirtió en una figura de culto para la comunidad hispana de los USA (en 1968 Ricardo Ray ya se había abierto camino en el competitivo mercado discográfico estadounidense). Ray era compositor, productor, arreglista y un pianista virtuoso conocido con el sobrenombre de "El Embajador del piano" que tenía a sus órdenes una Orquesta que era pura dinamita. A partir de 1974 Ricardo se convirtió al evangelismo dedicándose a difundir el mensaje religioso.
