Saoco - Siempre Sere Guajiro (1976)

"Siempre Seré Guajiro" is a landmark composition and the album of the same name by the Latin American group Saoco, released in 1976. This project became a milestone in the history of salsa, fusing traditional Cuban influences with the New York sounds of the time.
The group was founded by bassist William Millan and vocalist/composer Henry Fiol.
A combination of son montuno, guajira, and classic salsa, the music is characterized by the use of trumpet and trombone, combined with active percussion.
The lyrics of "Siempre Seré Guajiro" (translated as "I will always be a peasant") celebrate rural roots, loyalty to tradition, and pride in one's origins, despite living in a metropolitan city.
The album received critical acclaim for its authenticity and has become a classic for lovers of "old school" salsa (Salsa dura).
