Hard salsa with rocking tropical electric guitar!
\nPr\u00edncipe y Su Sexteto, from Caracas, Venezuela, were early pioneers of \u201csalsa con guitarra el\u00e9ctrica\u201d (salsa with electric guitar), a subset of the salsa genre where the electric guitar is the main melodic rhythm instrument, often taking the spotlight in place of the piano and brass section.\u00a0They were the perfect combination arriving at the right moment, when salsa spontaneously emerged as a new musical movement coming from working-class youth of the barrios in Caracas.<\/p>\n
Pr\u00edncipe\u2019s 1967 debut album, featuring powerful Afro-Latin rhythms like guaguanc\u00f3 and pachanga played with youthful exuberance and originality. Truly unique sound from the dawn of salsa in Venezuela.
\nAll the compositions are original to the band, and hold up really well more than 50 years later. Though the arrangements and playing are deceptively simple, the effect is both mesmerizing and energizing, like early rock \u2019n\u2019 roll fed through a Caribbean filter.<\/p>\n
This first time reissue has been remastered directly from the original tapes and licensed from Discomoda; it has also been augmented by three smoking bonus tracks that were never released during Pr\u00edncipe y Su Sexteto\u2019s existence as a band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
