Transferred from the original reel-to-reel master tapes. Includes previously unreleased track. Audiophile 180g vinyl pressing + Gatefold cover. Liner notes by DJ Bongohead. Long sought-after Afro-Latin jazz-funk. Originally released in 1975 on Montilla Records, "Fire & Sugar" is a rare Afro-Latin jazz-funk gem by Cuban multi-instrumentalist Jesus "La Grulla" Caunedo. A respected yet often uncredited figure who worked alongside artists such as Tito Puente, Machito, Celia Cruz and Chico O'Farrill, Caunedo delivered here his most forward-thinking statement. Recorded in Puerto Rico, the album blends Afro-Cuban rhythms, heavy Latin percussion, tight brass arrangements, fuzz guitar, and jazz-fusion elements, moving from explosive dancefloor cuts to deeper, atmospheric moments. Long prized by DJs and collectors across Latin, funk and rare groove circles, this official reissue restores the full warmth and punch of the original recordings. An essential 1975 Latin jazz-funk title, back in print.
