PUERTO RICO

Another killer from Pat's seemingly endless collection of recordings. This one has Puerto Rico scrawled across the shell and features just over ninety minutes of music, almost all of which was new to me. There's some Tito Puente, John el Bravo, Mon Rivera, at least one José Mangual track....but basically you just put it on and let the shit spin, you know? Pat's affinity for Odilio González is well documented in these pages, so consider this mix an extension of that love. He liked it real, and that sums up Puerto Rico (the tape and the territory) in one word.
