Nuyorican Soul

Nuyorican Soul manages to avoid the common pitfalls of all-star albums thanks to the expert production skills of Masters at Work's Kenny Dope and Little Louie Vega. While notable musicians like Roy Ayers, George Benson, and Jazzy Jeff contribute to a few tracks, the majority of the album showcases instrumental pieces featuring top players such as Tito Puente, Dave Valentin, and Charlie Sepulveda. With a blend of Latin and jazz influences, as well as modern synths and piano, this album sets a high standard for all-star dance records.
