Cult Cargo - Salsa Boricua De Chicago
It was just a matter of time when someone would finally ask, What role did Chicago play in the history of salsa? The question was finally asked and it took someone like Rob Sevier and his dogged determination to get the answer. You see, Rob Sevier is a historian of sorts. His quest is to unearth music and musicians that played a role in Chicago’s music history that were passed over in time due to lack of funds or marketing. When he makes a find, his mission is to re-introduce the forgotten stars and music through the Numero Label. A few years ago, Rob Sevier, Ken Shipley and Tom Lunt formed the Numero Group, a music archive label. Their past releases are quite impressive and now Sevier and the Numero Label hit the gold mine. They discovered recordings from the earliest salsa groups of the 1970s and 1980s in Chicago. Rob Sevier was lucky to get his hands on salsa music recorded during the salsa boom in Chicago under the Ebirac Label. Numero recently released a CD of tunes recorded by Ebirac groups like, La Justicia, La Union, Tipica Leal 79 and others. The CD is entitled, “Cult Cargo: Salsa Boricua De Chicago.” So if you really want to know the role that Chicago played in the history of salsa, pick up the CD and be enlightened. If you lived through it you will no doubt be taken back in time after hearing it. Click on the attached link to the Numero Group Web Page for more info and to purchase the CD. Nice job Numero Group!
