Throughout its life, Irakere (which was founded in 1973) performed a wide-ranging variety of music in Cuba, including jazz, Latin dance music, classical themes and vocal features.

“Dile A Catalina” falls into the latter category, featuring rhythmic singing by Oscar Vales and Enrique Piano during a high-powered performance.

In addition to the vocalizing, both Jorge Varona and Juan Munguia have opportunities to take trumpet solos that add to the fire of the music, with a short spot for guitarist Carlos Emilio Morales.

Personnel:

Chucho Valdes, piano
Jorge Varona, trumpet
Juan Munguia, trumpet
German Velazco, alto sax, soprano sax
Carlos Averhoff, tenor sax, flute
Jose Luis Cortes “El Tosco,” flute, baritone sax
Carlos Emilio Morales, guitar
Carlos del Puerto, bass
Enrique Pia, percussion
Jorge Alfonso “El Nin,” congas
Oscar Vales, percussion, vocals
