An undeservedly obscure Fruko album from 1973, full to the brim with unrelentingly hard and heavy salsa bangers that never let up (hence the title, “The Violent One”).
The record is a pleasing mix of originals and covers and contains the anthems ‘Tronco seco’, sung by Wilson Saoko, and ‘Nadando’, a hit for Joe Arroyo. But there’s a whole lot more, including hot holiday tunes and the stomping descarga ‘Salsa Na’ Ma’.
This album is “all killer and no filler”, designed to set the dance floor ablaze!
