Arranger: Felix "Pupi" Legarreta. Benny Velarde and Francisco Aquabella were among a number of Latin percussionists, performers, and bandleaders who got a chance to record during the late '50s as Latin music enjoyed a surge in popularity. Both led steady, competent ensembles that made songs solidly in the groove, designed for dancing. Although neither was a great soloist, they provided the requisite backbeats and rhythms with zest. This 1962 collection is evenly divided between Velarde and Aquabella's orchestras, and offers delightful, infectious Latin dance material with a modicum of instrumental distinction. ~ Ron Wynn
