Coco Lagos y sus Orates - Descargas (1967)

What a gem of Peruvian salsa and boogaloo! "Descargas" (1967) is a seminal album by percussionist Coco Lagos and his orchestra, recorded under the legendary MAG label in Lima.
It's a record that captures the explosion of tropical sound in the 1960s, blending jazz, mambo, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms with a raw energy typical of "descargas" or Latin jam sessions.
