Bandleader/bongo player Roberto Roena and arranger/trumpet player Elías Lopés concoct one memorable tune after the other, with tunes like “Tu Loco Loco y Yo Tranquilo,” “El Escapulario,” the classic “Soñando con Puerto Rico” (composed by Bobby Capó), and “El Sordo” (arranged by Bobby Valentín). These were the ingredients that made this musical organization (with a two-trumpet-trombone-tenor sax lineup) a perennial favorite. Classic Puerto Rican salsa.
