This review is from: La Quiniela del Dia [Original Compilation Remastered] (Audio CD)

This 1976 Tico Records compilation,features Ismael Rivera as the main vocalist in five of the ten recordings. All five: Aquì Estoy Ya LLeguè, Fuerza'E Cara, Arrecotìn Arrecotàn, Calambre, and Bombòn De Canela were recorded before the 1970's, a period when Rafael Cortijo's band was known as "Cortijo Y Su Combo". The first two above mentioned, are from the 1966 Tico LP "Bienvenido" produced by Pancho Cristal. Even though they went their separate ways after 1967 when Ismael formed his own band, "Los Cachimbos"( They got together for the last time in a 1974 concert),it is hard to imaging one without the other. Just a reminder that there are others compilations out there that teams them up in its enterity. Ismael and Cortijo, the "Greatest Duo" to pioneered and revolutionize popular latin music.
