Orquesta Novel started as a Cuban-style charanga back in 1961 and never stopped shape-shifting. Flute and violin stayed out front, but across two dozen albums the band moved through boogaloo, cha chá, Latin jazz, and son montuno without losing that charanga backbone. Salsamania catches Novel mid-70s, right in the New York salsa boom that pulled Cuban charangueros back into the spotlight. A great copy — clean front to back.
