This release marks the first vinyl reissue of the jazz classic by master conguero Mongo Santamaría. First released in 1976, 'Sofrito' combines jazz with Afro-Cuban grooves, funk and soul. From the simmering blues of 'Spring Song' to the devastating bass line of 'O Mi Shangó' to the rousing groove of the title track, this set exemplifies the heady ambition of '70s Afro-fusion at its most soulful.
