The Music of Ritmo Oriental - The Late 70s

1977

January: Ritmo Oriental recorded 7 more tracks immediately after the album we just studied, including:

• the singing/songwriting debut of Tony Calá, El son de Claro (source)
• Al que le tocó le tocó (source), quoted by Issac (source) and others
• the tragically never-reissued Yo no me equivoco [write EGREM]
• La Ritmo's take on Beethoven's 5th - La quinta [write EGREM]

1978

 

cuban music, musica cubanaRitmo Oriental released their 5th self-titled LP, at least as good as anything they'd done previously:

• Con el chenche buchenche [source]
• Maritza [source]
• La Ritmo te está llamando [source]

And one of my all-time favorites ...

• Nena así no se vale - example 1 -- example 2 -- [source]
