This LP with Sexteto Caracas will be, from now on, the favorite of parties with a happy atmosphere, because through its interpretations it has that rhythm and party flavor that we all want to hear and dance to,” read the back cover of the original edition of the great album that the El Palmas Music label has the enormous pleasure of reissuing on vinyl, respecting every detail of its original art.
Rhythm and party flavor with the… Sexteto Caracas, launched in 1969 by a small Venezuelan label (Discos Diana), appeared when salsa was already a consolidated popular phenomenon in the country. The era of the rage of the tasty crossover of genres with guaguancó and boogalú and even soul, of the “superdiscotecas with cinematic sound and psycho-delirious dance floor”, as was announced in the promotion of a show at El Palacio del Baile when Caracas was experiencing an impressive cultural explosion. The Caracas of the booming music industry and Sears department stores.
In this context, the only album by Sexteto Caracas was released, a group of young but seasoned musicians in dozens and dozens of shows, with a luxury musical director (Abiezer M. D'Aubeterre, better known as “Ajoporro”, also in charge of the piano and guitar) and the voice of Alfredo Antonio, who had previously ventured into pop music as the singer of the group Chicles.
The Caracas Sextet was born in the mid-60s at the initiative of the timbalero Jesús “Chui” Osuna, who conditioned his own house for the group's rehearsals, and it established itself as it added concerts in that Caracas of great musical revelry until it reached its unique album, a collector's item that El Palmas Music proudly recovers, faithful to its objective of cultural archeology and revaluation of artists who deserve a privileged place in history.
Spanish:
“Este LP con el Sexteto Caracas será, desde ya, el favorito de las fiestas de ambiente alegre, porque a través de sus interpretaciones tiene ese ritmo y sabor de fiesta que todos deseamos oír y bailar”, se leía en la contraportada de la edición original del gran disco que el sello El Palmas Music tiene el placer enorme de reeditar en vinilo, respetando cada detalle de su arte original.
Ritmo y sabor de fiesta con el… Sexteto Caracas, lanzado en 1969 por un pequeño sello venezolano (Discos Diana), apareció cuando la salsa ya era un fenómeno popular consolidado en el país. La época del furor del sabroso cruce de géneros con el guaguancó y el bugalú e incluso el soul, de las “superdiscotecas con sonido cinerámico y pista de baile sico-delirante”, tal como se anunciaba en la promoción de un show en El Palacio del Baile cuando Caracas vivía una explosión cultural impresionante. La Caracas de la industria musical en auge y las grandes tiendas Sears.
En ese contexto se editó el único disco del Sexteto Caracas, una agrupación de músicos jóvenes pero curtidos en decenas y decenas de shows, con un director musical de lujo (Abiezer M. D'Aubeterre, más conocido como “Ajoporro”, también a cargo del piano y la guitarra) y la voz de Alfredo Antonio, que había incursionado antes en la música pop como cantante del grupo Chicles.
El Sexteto Caracas nació a mediados de los 60 por iniciativa del timbalero Jesús “Chui” Osuna, que acondicionó su propia casa para los ensayos del grupo, y se fue afirmando a medida que sumaba conciertos en esa Caracas de gran jolgorio musical hasta llegar a su único disco, una pieza de colección que El Palmas Music recupera con orgullo, fiel a su objetivo de arqueología cultural y revalorización de artistas que merecen un lugar de privilegio en la historia.

This well-deserved reissue is all killer no filler, high octane Latin dance punctuated by hip-swinging percussion, steamy brass and urged on by strident backing vocals.
It's hard to pick a favorite off this excellent pressing but "El Amor de Una Mujer", "Alma Rosa" and "Buscando Una Flor" stand out along with the track mentioned below. Alan Brown
