Product Details

Chamaco Ramirez built his reputation as one of the most commanding voices to come out of the New York salsa scene, a vocalist whose raw power and emotional directness put him in the company of the genre's greats. That this sole solo statement sat out of print for over four decades makes its return all the more meaningful, a chance to hear a singer at full strength backed by serious musicianship, the way it was meant to be heard.

Chamaco Ramírez’s only solo album, Alive And Kicking, returns to vinyl for the first time since its 1979 Inca Records release. A salsa essential showcasing his electrifying voice, it features standout tracks like “Así son bongo” by Joseito Fernández, “San Agustín” by Tite Curet Alonso, and Chamaco’s own “Adivínalo.” Pressed on 180-gram vinyl with AAA lacquers from the original master tapes, this reissue captures the full power and brilliance Chamaco and the stellar lineup of musicians.
