Que Viva La Musica just turned 50 and features Barretto at his peak of the "Hard Salsa" era. The album contains the track "Cocinando" from the famed documentary Our Latin Thing which alone makes the record worth the price of admission. Other key tracks include "La Pelota" and "Que Viva La Musica". Recorded in 1972, the recording features his original Salsa band including Adalberto Santiago and Orestes Vilato before their storied breakup. Now available remastered for the first time in decades.
