Recorded in 1978-79, this compilation features a wide variety of music including music of the Santera and Lucume religious traditions, rumba, bolero, guaracha, and son. Influenced by music of slaves from West and Central Africa and of Spanish colonists, these styles were created through a long process of cultural syncretization. The liner notes, written by percussionist John Santos, contain transcriptions of rhythms and lyrics of songs with English translations. Santos also stresses the impact these forms of music have had on popular music styles such as salsa.
