Original sleeve notes:
Its is my belief that the deep dedication that exists in Ray Gonzalez and other members
of his orchestra. to the typical latin music, takes a great deal of credit for the already
predicted success, of this, their first album.
Such dedication to the typical latin music is possible to observe when we listen to
selections such as "Navidad Pronto Llegara", "A Mi Borinquen" and "La Haban
Vieja". El Cuatro has been included in these selections, creating an original atmosphere in the
field of modern Latin Music.
Ray Gonzalez, inspired by our precious heritage of latin music, past and present, has
combined rhythms and melodies and other ingredients in the variety of his style, to bring
us the best of his repertory
He aqui dedicacion y sentimiento.
Es ml manera de pensar que la profunda dedicacion qua exists en Ray
Gonzalez y demas Integrantes de su orquesta, hacia la muslca
tipica-modema, tome gran parts de credito en el exito ya profesado, de este, su primer CD.
Done dedicacion a la musica tiplca. se nos es posible observer al escuchar selecciones
tales como.'Navrdad Pronto Llegara". A Mi Borinquen" y La Habana
Vieja. Es por
lo cual que siento estas las mas tipicas se he hecho relucir el Cuatro. creando asi un
ambiente original an el campo de la musica moderns
Ray Gonzalez inspirado por nuesha bella musica antillana. de todas las
epocas, he logrado combinar ritmos y melodies y demas Ingredlentes an la variedad de su
estilo, para ofrecernos to metor de su repertorio. Marcelina Sierra
