Noro Morales, pianist, composer and orchestra bandleader died on January 14th, 1964, in the county of his birth, Puerto Rico, after many years of bandleading in the states. Kako, famed puertorican bandleader and percussionist and personal friend of Noro’s organised an 18 piece after hour band, thus called because the only way to unite these excellent musicians was to ‘kidnap’ them as they finished playing with their respective bands and hustle them over to Nola Studios at 5 A.M. for this Alegre session. Vitamina is a top Descarga number and my favourite track on the album.
