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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
