Louie Ramirez & Pete Bonet - The Beautiful People (1971)

Beautiful people indeed -- as vocalist Pete Bonet teams up with timbales master Louie Ramirez in this tight set of grooves by a group that's got both of them leading the arrangements! The group's a nice tight combo, with Morty Lazar on tenor, and Pat Patrick on baritone sax -- and the music bubbles along in a warm early 70s salsa approach, with lots of the jazzy flourishes you'd expect to hear on Louie's other work! Cuts include "Azucar En Nuevo York", "Un Amigo", "Joe Gaines Express", and "Oigo Un Bembe"
