About the artist

Ray Barretto

Ray Barretto may not be a household name to many, but within the world of Latin jazz and salsa, he is revered as a legend. Hailing from the mean streets of Harlem, New York, Barretto has been making music that makes you want to shake your hips and clap your hands since the 1950s. With a career spanning over six decades, Barretto has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, and Eddie Palmieri. His versatile percussion skills have made him a valuable collaborator in a wide range of genres, from jazz to R&B to soul. Barretto's discography is a treasure trove of infectious rhythms and soulful melodies. Whether he's playing the conga, the bongos, or the timbales, Barretto's percussive prowess never fails to impress. His music is a vibrant celebration of Afro-Cuban traditions, with a modern twist that keeps it fresh and exciting. But don't let the serious musician persona fool you - Barretto is also known for his cheeky sense of humor and his love of good food and good company. He's the kind of guy who can make you laugh one moment and make you cry with the beauty of his music the next. In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured hits, Ray Barretto stands out as a true original. His music is a testament to the power of rhythm and soul, and a reminder that sometimes the best music is the kind that comes straight from the heart. So next time you're feeling down, just put on some Ray Barretto and let the music lift your spirits. Trust me, you won't regret it.
