Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez — "Fiesta Con “El Conde"

$20.00

By 1982 the peak Fania years were behind him — and El Conde knew it. Fiesta Con El Conde is a later-period record that doesn't pretend to be Este Negro Sí Es Sabroso or the 1974 debut. What it is instead is a master sonero doing exactly what a master sonero does: holding down the groove with timing and elegance that no amount of trend-chasing could replicate. The guaguancó tracks — "Tristeza," "Pastorcillo," and "Fiesta En El Barrio" — are the spine of the record. Pete's improvisational instincts are fully intact.
