Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GRAMMY-nominated album BARRETTO, the genre-defining salsa classic from legendary conguero and bandleader, Ray Barretto, with news of a new reissue.
The album, which returns to vinyl for the first time since its 1975 release, marks Barretto’s first recording to feature the renowned voices of Rubén Blades and Tito Gómez and includes such enduring hits as “Guararé,” “Ban Ban Queré,” and “Canto Abacuá.” Set for release on MAY 9TH, and available for PRE-ORDER TODAY!
BARRETTO was mastered from its original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, and housed in a replica of its classic jacket, including a die-cut flap on the front cover that opens up to album credits and the original cover notes written by Pablo “Yoruba” Guzman. A limited-edition “Yellow Smoke” color vinyl (only 300 copies), with an exclusive bundle option that includes a classic Fania Records T-shirt, is available at Fania.com.
