Yep.   

And Charlie Palmieri was the ringleader.

And don't forget the Cesta All-Stars too!

Some of my CHARLIE PALMIERI favorites . . . 
Jazz (Alegre/Fania, rec. 1960s) - with the Alegre All Stars
Charlie Palmieri served as the Music Director on these recordings; tracks selected for this compilation by Bobby Sanabria

Impulsos (Coco, 1975)

A Giant Step (Tropical Budda, 1984)

Mambo Show (Tropical Budda, 1989) - with the Latin Music Legends
Again, CP is the MD; with Mongo Santamaria, Chombo Silva, Nicky Marrero, Barry Rogers, and others

Excellent choices ....

[soulpope]

Papaito "Fuego En Los Bomberos" (SAR Records) 1980 .... the winning formula of Papaito with Victor Trias on tres and glittering trumpet features by Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros always paid off ....

[soulpope]

Papaito "Yo Bailo Con La Mas Fea" (SAR Records)    1982 .... Charlie Rodriguez aka the mastery of tres .... let me get a witness ....

[soulpope]

Angelo Y Su Conjunto Modelo "Cantando Mi Son Me Muero" (Guajiro Records) 1981 .... what a singer .... btw sorry for potential boredom, but Charlie Rodriguez  and Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros again on the case .... nothing could go wrong ....

Lots of great stuff has been posted. I love the first record by Grupo Folklorico y Experimental Nuevayorquino (their full name) “Concepts in Unity” and Eddie Palmieri “The Sun of Latin Music”.  Also anything by Tipico 73,  Jimmy Bosch, Manny Oquendo & Libre.
