Producer: Pablo Yglesias (Compilation) Distributor: Ryko Distribution Notes: Although salsa music has arguably been around since as early as the late 1940s, its first wave of popularity and acceptance in the U.S. was the '70s, where it fit appealingly with the disco craze of the era. Salsa dura (or salsa gorda) is the term for post-millennial salsa music whose production values and overall sound hearken back to salsa's '70s heyday. This typically excellent ROUGH GUIDES compilation serves as an introduction for new fans and a best-of package for purists, featuring salsa dura king Jimmy Bosch, as well as Eddie Palmieri, Ricky Gonzalez, and others.
