1973 Album on 180g Vinyl LP!
Pressed at Third Man in Detroit!
Arriving from various points in Mexico, Panama, Cuba and Puerto Rico, this nine-man group (led by Benny Velarde) found each other and their music in San Francisco in the early 1970s. They brought the music of their homes to the heavy sounds of San Francisco and merged the two, resulting in this soulful, joyful and unique 1973 recording. Verve By Request Series is pressed on 180g vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
La Clave is indispensable listening. It's not a curiosity piece, but a fire breathing, sexy dragon of a recording that doesn't just satisfy our best and most righteous hedonistic impulses, it adds significantly to the wealth of the Latin music's historical canon and deserves its "lost classic" status.
