Tecords) 1975 .... the band delivers pure energy and lead singer Ray De La Paz wails his way ... Thanks for this one. I played with Ray De La Paz for a few years with his own band and with Louie Ramirez and I was not familiar with this one. It's killing. This has been a fun thread to read. When I first moved back to New York, I cut my teeth on the thriving New York salsa scene in the early '90s and got to play with some of the best bands in New York, many of whom I see represented here. Here is one from Ray De La Paz from the time period when I played in the band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBgBOwwzRN0 If someone can teach me how to post link from you tube so you can play them here, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Edited March 11 by david weiss Quote
