Second volume of our survey of the fascinating music variety of Puerto Rico during the 50s and 60s, which would lead the way to the subsequent salsa scene worldwide. As well as bomba and plena, the main genres featured on volume one, the orchestras here display their masterful craft at playing guaracha, rumba, mambo, merengue and traditional rural music. Extensive liner notes by compiler Yannis Ruel illustrated with original artwork and memorabilia. The selection of this second ¡Saoco! expands its repertoire to emphasize the variety of rhythms and styles that characterized many of the groups included in the first volume. It reveals a Puerto Rican production influenced by the sounds of Cuba and New York, but which also preserved its own character and in which the island genres of bomba, plena, and música campesina enjoyed their golden age.
