First solo LP by the talented Peruvian artist Betico Salas, lead trumpet player of the great Sonora de Lucho Macedo, one of the best ensembles playing Cuban repertoires in the early ?60s. This 1966 album features Alfredo Linares on piano and sonero vocals by Benny del Solar stand out on this album. Benny del Solar sings lead vocals on the cumbia of Argentine origin 'Nos vamos a casar'; the Colombian 'Lo que pasa es que la banda est? borracha', a continental hit since the early sixties; the guaracha 'A los muchachos de Bel?n', by Puerto Rican musician Tito Rodr?guez; the guaracha 'Ritmo del amor'; the elegant Cuban guaguanc? 'As? nam?', also well known for Tito Rodr?guez's rendition; and the cumbia 'Qu? le digo a mi mujer'. Singer, C?sar Gonzales, who would have an extensive career in Peruvian tropical music, sang lead vocals in the guaguanc? by the Sonora Matancera 'Lindo Omelenko' and the bolero 'El ?rbol', a hit for the singer Roberto Ledesma, also recorded that same year by Peruvians Carmita Jim?nez, Anamelba, Raul del Mar and Lucho Macedo himself, who decided to sing for his new record label. The mythical singer Johnny Arce, years later known as Mr. Macondo, also appears on the album on the two guarachas: 'La renga', a composition by Esther Forero, known as La novia de Barranquilla; and 'Yo soy candela', a composition by the Colombian Ray Rodr?guez.
