Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Recorded in 2006 and never officially released, this EP was engineered by the legendary Jon Fausty of Fania Records and includes three original salsa classics: Madrugador, Orgullo, and Tu No Sabes. This limited edition 10-inch also features bonus track Bionic Boogaloo - another classic Bio Ritmo rework, this time featuring Oliver Nelson's theme for The Six Million Dollar Man 70's television series. The captivating cover art is by singer/composer Rei Alvarez who meshes his two favorite folk cultures together in one: the Samurai Vejigante. Full-color jacket wrapped with Japanese-style obi strip that ties the whole package together under shrink wrap. All killer and no filler from Bio Ritmo – easily one of the hardest, heaviest leaders on the current worldwide 'salsa dura' scene! Comes with Bio Ritmo 30-year anniversary sticker and Electric Cowbell sticker!
