"Back in the days when I was a pro dancer, Pacheco's L.P.s were the ones on the turntable, for practice and for fun...to this day I find it hard not to dance when these irrepressible songs are playing. The musicianship is incredible, with Pacheco's amazing Cuban flute playing weaving its way through the melodies and complex rhythms.The sound on this recording is excellent, even though it's nearly 30 years old. There is no information on this CD other than to say that the singers are Elliot Romero, Pete Rodriguez, and Rudy Calzado. My all-time favorite dance track is on this compilation: Calzado's "Con Su Bataola"...even if you have two left feet, listen to this track and yes, the spirit will move you, and you'll dance !"
