Alfredo
Proudly presenting our reissue of a Bonafide Latin classic from
1979 by the Cuban-born violinist Alfredo De La Fe.
Artist: Alfredo De La Fe
Genre: South American
Label: Mr Bongo
Release date:
Based in New York and Colombia, Alfredo worked with some of the greats in Latin
music including Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colon and Roberto Roena, alongside disco and
soul icons like Sylvester and Aquarian Dream. His debut album, Alfredo, is sublime
and comprises two distinct halves. The A- side is a fine outing of Latin dancefloor
workouts, with Alfredo innovatively incorporating the violin as a key element of his
songwriting. Take to 'Toca Alfredo Toca' or 'Charangueando' to hear Alfredo's violin
solos placed centre stage, a unique dimension to Latin music which he helped to
pioneer at the time.
