"..Si Te Vas Mi China, That was a real strong project, I
rehearsed the band for about a year straight, every day, every day till we
went to the studio, because this time Larry Harlow produced it by his
lonesome, and I wanted to make sure we recorded this with no problems at
all. But I think musically it shows how the musicianship grew and the
experience of playing every day stood out. Also working with Jon Fausty
and Willie Colon dropping by and just having all of the guys in the
business at that time come by and just hang out was the most greatest
thing for a guy who not only was part of the business but was still very
much a fan...' Chino Rodriguez
