review by Bruce Polin - courtesy www.descarga.com

This 1968 boogaloo record by timbalero bandleader Johnny Rivera is a lot of fun. Like all good boogaloo records of the era, this one is complete with great grooves and insipid lyrics ("...You're waiting for the other guy-ay,ay"), but fun in spite, or because, of this. Nice jala-jala like track "Jalco." Good job all around by vocalist George Villanueva.
Recommended. (BP, 2004-04-20)
