Gran Combo Boogaloo - for Kerri

This morning's musical biscuit is none other than El Gran Combo, a Puerto Rican institution. Founded in 1962 by Rafael Ithier, a member of Cortijo y Su Combo, they have been tearing the roof all over the world for over 4 decades (!). They have gone through many stages and incarnations, integrating many influences into the mashup that is SALSA; Boogaloo, swing, flamenco, tango, boleros, jazz; they've done it all.

These two greatest hits are good representation of "La Universidad de la Salsa" at their best.

If you already know their stuff and want to hear more, go HERE!!!
