Ray Barretto - Barretto (50th Anniversary) (180 Gram) (LP)

Barretto celebrates the vibrant spirit and enduring legacy of legendary conguero Ray Barretto. Originally released in 1975 by Fania Records, this landmark album marked a high point in Barretto’s exploration of the Cuban/soul crossover style, featuring relentless rhythm sections and powerful double trumpet lines that defined a new era in Latin music.

The 50th Anniversary edition invites listeners to relive salsa classics like “Guararé,” the rumba-son “Ban ban queré,” and the Rubén Blades-penned “Canto Abacuá.” Rooted in authenticity and steeped in history, Barretto stands as a testament to the genre’s timeless appeal and Barretto’s influential artistry.
