...Classic Recordings By Puerto Rico's Most Legendary String Band 1929-1932. "Los Jardineros is the greatest traditional Puerto Rican band that ever recorded. Legendary for their brilliant musicianship, their classic records from 1929 capture this great body of music in its heyday when it was most strong and vibrant. Their original recordings, which are extreme rarities and collectors items, are available here for the first time. Fans of early Latin music and other traditional genres will find this release a revelation containing a gold mine of exceptional performances. Drawn from an extensive body of work that reveals the diversity of the early Puerto Rican music scene on the island and in New York, The Best of Los Jardineros features plenas, fox trots, boleros, danzas, decimas, aguinaldos and more -- a fascinating array of vocal and instrumental performances in the traditional styles from which salsa emerged. The Best of Los Jardineros is released in a special DVD-sized digi-pak with 23 tracks from newly restored 78s that feature the top Puerto Rican guitar and mandolin players of the day including the 'king of the cuatro' Heriberto Torres."
