Willie Villegas Y Entre Amigos pride themselves on playing classic salsa,
the sound of salsa from its heyday in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
The CD serves up that classic salsa sound so loved by dancers and listeners
alike, while the DVD features video segments from Willie Villegas's public
access TV show "Salsa En La Calle". Recorded live at the club
El Flamingo are Ernie Acevedo y Conjunto Imagen, Fajardo Jr. y Sus
Estrellas, Orlando Marin and Willie Villegas Y Entre Amigos. Willie
also interviews (in English) the band leaders making this CD + DVD set
essential for anyone remotely interested in the history of salsa music.
From label:
"Willie Villegas Y Entre Amigos, which means Among Friends in
English, is the gateway between those old days and the ones that are about to
come giving the dancers as well as the listeners of this infectious music we
love so much the multiple pleasures of joy only experienced on the dance
floor."
"Entre Amigos (Among Friends) are a hard and funky two trombone-led
salsa group based in Brooklyn, directed by percussionist Willie Villegas.
A multifaceted individual, besides co-leading Entre Amigos, playing
timbales and producing their albums, Willie hosts and produces the cable TV
show Salsa En La Calle. Willie has played with such luminaries as
Joe Quijano, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Frankie Ruiz, Lalo Rodríguez, Tito
Puente, José Fajardo and Paquito Guzmán, just to name a few."
