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 Great you're enjoying this thread and the music. The links you've embedded works fine. Would be interested and appreciate to hear more abour specific memories (musicians, groups) of your's reg the Salsa scene in the early 90's .... I believe from the mid/late 80's onward this genre's industry changed and classic Salsa had to take a backseat .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
