This is salsa music that depicts life with intelligent lyrics (in Spanish) and novel musical themes. From depicting a sorrowful mother praying for her junkie son to life on the streets for a young man it is a thought provoking piece of work. A heavy psychedelic style of salsa pushes its point across using organ, trombone and cuatro (Puerto Rican type of guitar) to achieve this. Undoubtedly this recording should not be overlooked. Characterized by minor key musical themes, heavy percussion, trombone and organ sounds all offset with the lilting cuatro guitar. A progressive salsa music recording from a group of Puerto Rican musicians in New York city. Orquesta Amistad; their sound is a heavy percussion and guaguanco salsa style, utilizing a psychedelic organ and trombone line-up blend, coupled with yearning thought provoking lyrics and a lilting cuatro guitar.
