Eddie Palmieri - Vamonos Pa'l Monte flac album

Eddie Palmieri Format: Vinyl. Classic album whose sole objective is the celebration of Afro-Cuban music, Vámonos Pa'l Monte is a hymn to freedom, a remedy against injustice. Fania Records was a New York based record label founded by Dominican-born composer and bandleader Johnny Pacheco and Italian-American lawyer Jerry Masucci in 1964. The label took it's name from an old Cuban song by the singer Reinaldo Bolaño.

Eddie Palmieri's 1971 LP Vamonos Pa'l Monte moves easily from the nearly avant-garde trumpet-battle opener "Revolt/La Libertad Logico" into the new-era-meets-old "Caminando," complete with an excellent electric-piano solo by Palmieri himself. Above and beyond the irresistible arrangements and intricate playing, Vamonos Pa'l Monte benefits from one of the best recording jobs of any early-'70s salsa record, each section - and practically each musician - vigorously separated with clear stereo. Though many fans consider it a transition record toward the compositional brilliance of The Sun of Latin Music, it's actually a much better record for fans of traditional salsa.

In 1971, Palmieri recorded Vamonos Pa'l Monte (Let's go to the Mountain) with his brother Charlie at the organ. That same year he also recorded Eddie Palmieri & Friends in Concert, At the University of Puerto Rico. In 1975, Palmieri won the first Grammy Award for Best Latin Recording with The Sun of Latin Music (produced by Harvey Averne and arranged by René Hernández, long-time pianist with the orchestra led by Machito, and Barry Rogers (Un Día Bonito)) La Perfecta.

Vamonos Pa’l Monte is one of the most important recordings of Eddie Palmieri, who arguably was one of the foremost Latin pianists of the second half of the 20th century. He also was a widely acclaimed composer, arranger, producer and band leader. In 1969, after several highly influential albums with his own legendary band, La Perfecta, Palmieri embarked on a new phase of his creative journey. El tema homónimo del álbum Vámonos Pa’l Monte es más que una invitación para los latinos de la ciudad para ir a una fiesta rural. Como explica Ismael Quintana, legendario sonero (cantante) y co-autor del tema: La letra tiene que ver con tratar de salir adelante con las injusticias en el mundo. Significaba deshacerse de esta locura y de tanta negatividad en la que vivimos y vámonos a las montañas.
