Salsa: Magia Caribeña - Federico Boogaloo

In 1967 Federico Betancourt and his Combo Latino released the first album to use the term salsa in the title: "Llego la Salsa".

Now Federico Junior is carrying the torch for Venezuelan salsa with his group Orquesta Magia Caribeña. Sabroso...

In July 2007 the group released a mini "best of" CD entitled "Federico Boogaloo" with the following tracks:

1. Señor Gallo
2. Federico Boogaloo
3. Rosa, La Peligrosa (salsa version)
4. Hay Algo En Ti
5. Rumba Buena
6. El Amor Que Buscaba
7. Pasion Gitana
8. Yo No Se Que Me Paso
9. Quisiera
10. Te Quiero
11. Costumbres
12. Señor Gallo (radio version).

Anybody living in London can pick up a copy from Sterns Music in Warren Street.
