nature that has so many times brought him close to grat succes and, in as
many instances, caused him to go almost unnoticed.
Willie has turned out some excellent recordings that almost, but not quite,
brought him the notoriety he deserves; never for lack of ability, but perhaps for
lack of someone to give that ability the Little extra push necessary to send an
artist to the top. This very lbum will ilustrate what a wealth of musical talent
abounds in Willi Rosario and his orchestra. Willie plays a style of typical Latin
called tpico, with the slightest hint of jazz added for spice. He is further
insistent that above all else, his music be danceable. The band is featured in
New York at many of the most popular nightclubs and weekend dances, and
has played around the country in Boston, Chicago and California; also as far
away as Puerto Rico and Venezuela. They have nomerous TV appearences to
their credit. This new lbum emphasizes the latest trends in Latin music;
namely boogaloo and Guaguanco rhythms.
If merit awards for good, danceable, original, exciting Latin music are in order,
this lbum, starring Willie Rosario, Should recelve top honors.

The music industry is a very fickle place. Quite osten is judged by What did he
do today? Now today is a very short of time. Soon it gives way to
tomorrow and joins the million of ysterdays. How a person navigates this
unceasing current of time is the yardstick by which he may be measured.
Willie Rosario has been a succesful adventurer on this musical river since the
age of sixteen, when he led his first band Conjunto Coamex, in his hometown
coomo, puerto rico. Before reaching twenty years of age, he moved to New York
joining as a percussionist the established bands of Noro Morales, Aldemaro
Roero and Johnny Segui.
But Willie is a leader, and after paying his musical dues, he launched in 1958
his own aggregation. Willie Rosario y su Orchesta, in the early 60s. he
recorded this lbum (today a collectors tem) that earned his group the
reputation as one of the fightest and most organized orchestras on the latin
scene.
We have a penchant as living things to move, change: to seek and explore for
such i sour nature. Latin dance music reflects this trends as we move from era
to era: the rumba, tha mambo, the cha-cha-cha, the cachanga, the boogaloo.
Through these musical bobbing corks. Willie Rosario has steered a today
course straight to our hearts, minds and soul. Hes done this year after year by
recording and performing music that cant be ignored by our bodies, true
indicators of a musics efficacy- to dance, sing along, top your feet, to respond
to what is being Heard.
In this lbum, Willie Rosario flies his colors as a master of material and
personnel. He brought aboard his orchestral ship the then unknown voice of
Frankie Figueroa, previously a conga player. And Willie wasnt wrong as we hear
Frankies strong baritone voice surge with power and conviction along with the
excellent rhythm section and trumpets.
And Willie wasnt wrong when he recorded E Bravo Soy Yo, dame tu amor
morenita, and Guaguanco bonito. On hearing youll find a mnimum of
excessive fanfare and an abundance of a very Deep and serious commitment
to a good time to happy time today. Willie Rosario is well anchored in the latin
music industry what did he do today? Why, just check with yesterday and
tomorrow and scoop up this lbum. It has the answer.
