Liner Notes
UPON ARRIVING AT KENNEDY AIRPORT FROM OUR PUERTO RICAN TOUR, MY DRUMMER, MANNY OQUENDO, AND I TOOK OFF IMMEDIATELY TO MEET THE REST OF THE ORCHESTRA, WHO HAD ARRIVED TWO DAYS PREVIOUSLY, AND OUR NEW RECORDING WAS ON ITS WAY. CONFUSION, TENSION, PANIC, ALL OF WHICH OCCURRED, WAS ALL FORGOTTEN WHEN WE RE-MIXED OUR TAPES. THE GREAT ENGINEERING OF ROY RAMIREZ, PLUS THE UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR PRODUCER, MR. TEDDY REIG, PROVED TO BE A GREAT ASSET ON OUR BEHALF. IN THIS ALBUM, WE FEATURE A NEW RHYTHM, THE "MOZAMBIQUE," IN WHICH WE INTERPRET A NUMBER FEATURING THE RHYTHM SECTION PLAYING WHAT IS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS A FORM OF A CONGA RHYTHM. THE EFFORTS OF "LA PERFECTA" AND I ARE ALL HERE TO TRY TO PLEASE YOU.-EDDIE PALMIERI
