RICARDO MARRERO & THE GROUP “A Taste” CD
★Limited edition★Paper jacket specification
A rare record that every rare groove collector dreams of, and the original has always been traded at the top of the charts, the mega rare Ricardo Marrero & The Group's "A Taste" is being reissued! The magnificent sound that has been loved by listeners of rare groove, free soul, Latin, bossa, and even funk and soul is a timeless masterpiece that will never fade!
This is the first album by composer and keyboardist Ricardo Marrero, who was active in the Latin music scene in New York from the 1960s to the 1970s. It is well known that it was released by TSG Records after many twists and turns, but it is not just the rarity that has made it the "final destination for rare groove collectors," but also the high quality of its sound! Starting with the elegantly arranged Latin jazz "Tiny" (M1), "Algo" (M2) with its intense intertwining of wah guitar, bass, percussion, electric piano, flute, and horns, "Babalonia" (M6) which has been spun by DJs, "And We'll Make Love" (M3) is a mellow tune featuring a refreshing female vocalist, "Get Yourself Together" (M5) is a soul number with a comfortable elegant chorus, and "Vengo" (M4) shows the true essence of Latin sound, and many other classic songs that have been loved by a wide range of listeners!
