Our Latin Thing (Nuestra Cosa)
(3 Disks) Our Latin Thing (Nuestra Cosa) 40th Anniversary Limited Edition DVD Plus Live At The Cheetah Vols 1 & 2 (with bonus tracks) DVD Plus 2 CD Set
Essential classic New York salsa. This terrific 40th Anniversary package includes the albums "Live at the Cheetah" volumes one *and* two (with extra bonus tracks!), as well as the complete movie "Our Latin Thing" on DVD.This is pretty much the start of the world salsa explosion. In the 70s, the Cheetah Club was home to some of the now legends of salsa. This recording captures the feel of these live shows where almost anything could have happened. Turn the lights down a bit, pop this on and you could easily imagine a very crowded smoke-filled room with wide lapels, platform shoes, and dynamic performances. Guest Stars: Bobby Cruz, Jose Feliciano, Ricardo Ray. Masters of Ceremonies: Symphony Sid & Dizzy Izzy Sanabria.
Originally released as a musical documentary filmed in part at the now defunct Cheetah club here in New York, as well as around El Barrio, the performance aspect is by now legendary (the CDs "Live at The Cheetah" Volumes 1 & 2 have been available separately for some time). The highlight is the performance of the song "Quitate Tu" where all of the singers take turns to out-do each other. This song should be instated in the Salsa Hall of Fame, as should Cheo Feliciano's version of "Anacaona" which should be bronzed and put on a mantel. Very Highly Recommended.Tracklist
