VARIOUS ARTISTS 8211 Ebirac All-Stars 8211 LP 8211 Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl Far from the twin epicenters of New York and Miami, Carlos Ruiz and his Ebirac label were both feeling and generating the aftershocks of the mid-70s salsa boom. Holed up in their own bustling Puerto Rican community center on Chicagos west side, these third coast salseros plied their trade outside the hot lights, cutting their teeth in city parks, VFW halls, and Holiday Inn rec rooms. Nearly 50 records survive in the wake of orquestas La Justicia, La Solucion, and Tipica Leal 79, the most impassioned, singular moments of which are compiled here.
