ABELARDO BARROSO/Cha Cha Cha: The singer has been gone for 40 years and these recordings memorialize his third go around from the mid 50s when he brought the golden sound to cha cha. Classic recordings just as mighty as similar period Sinatra, this is sound of Cuba that made it such a hot destination in the 50s. Timeless, fun dance music that defined a time and place but still lives on, this is too much of a gasser to be lost to time. Grab a slab and let the party begin. Great stuff.
