Mongo Santamaría - Sofrito LP Picture Disc Lives is four finely calibratedThis release marks the first vinyl reissue of the jazz classic by master conguero Mongo Santamara. First released in 1976, Sofrito combines jazz with Afro Cuban grooves, funk and soul. From the simmering blues of Spring Song to the devastating bass line of O Mi Shang to the rousing groove of the title track, this set exemplifies the heady ambition of 70s Afro fusion at its most soulful.
