Product DescriptionPete Rodriguez was part of a wave of Nuyoricans who came of age in the early '60s twilight of the mambo era. The boogaloo sound was just starting to bubble up in El Barrio (East Harlem) amongst this generation of Nuyorican bandleaders, and Rodriguez's group was on the very front line, alongside the Joe Cuba Sextet and Ricardo 'Richie' Ray. Pete had one of the great boogaloo bands of all time; he truly generated high-caliber energy on the dance floor.
Alas, as much as Right On! was Pete's gift to us, it also became a coda to Rodriguez's career-he never recorded again.
