Roberto y su Nuevo Montuno - El Yerbero Del Barrio (1976)

El Yerbero Del Barrio is one of the most significant works by Puerto Rican composer and singer Roberto Angleró and his group, Nuevo Montuno. Released in 1976 during the peak of salsa's "Golden Era," this record solidified Angleró's reputation as a master songwriter capable of blending witty lyrics with deep Afro-Caribbean traditions. Stylistically, the album focuses on classic Son Montuno and Guaguancó, featuring a powerful brass section and emphasized piano work. The title track became an anthem for Barrio street culture, and the album itself demonstrated the artist's unique ability to adapt traditional rhythms to the then-modern club demands of New York and San Juan.
