An amazing production directly from Venezuela. Non stop killer tunes including a smashing version of "lluvia con nieve" with xylophone trimmings and heavy campanas. I love the slower guaguanco slammer "Con el swing" It does fade out however which is the only bummer. It has an amazingly charming coro which almost sounds out of tune at time but ads to the flavour. The piano solo is also fantastic in this tune.

Guaguanco mania on this raw production out of Venezuela. Many smoking tunes and hard hitting madness taking place on this record. I especially dig the tune "guaguanco blues". 

Vamonos Pa' La Salsa - PACHA-RANG-ISH Dame Un Chance

• Vamonos Pa'la Salsa

• Compilation

• Discomoda-Favedica
• sound clip

This compilation looks to be made up of 3 orquestas from the likes of "Conjunto Antonio Vasallo", "Orquesta Internacional" & "Orquesta De Carlos Guerra".

The direction of this compilation was under "Carlos Guerra".  There is a smoking version of  "dame un chance" with blazing flutes from "Antonio Vasallo" and sweetly sung vocals by "Frank Rivas". 

"Pepe Acosta", from the Carlos Guerra also sings impeccably and full of soul especially in their cover of well re-known "Lagrimas Negras". 

Overall probably one of the strongest underground compilations from Venezuela including a total of 4 Guaguancos, 3 Guarachas, 1 Charanga, 1 Son Montuno, 1 Bolero Montuno, 1 Bomba & a partridge in a pair tree.
