Candido Y Su Movimento - Palos De Fuego

Now-Again Records presents catalog-wide reissues of Latin music propellant Joe Bataan’s legendary Ghetto Records. Next up in the
series - Joseph “Candido” RodrÌguez - Candido was mentored by Tito Puente, and his debut features a fantastic mix of fiery Salsa,
Latin Jazz and Sweet Latin Soul. Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan’s way to get over on “The Man” and out of the ‘hood, a bold move by
an artist looking for independence and creative control in an industry that had exploited his talents and treated him like chattel. As
Bataan puts it today, “Ghetto Records was part of my journey, a stepping stone to everything else that I’ve done. I learned enough that
it enabled me to get out of the box with my thinking, it showed me how to deal with adversity.” Like many dreams and schemes born of
the street, this one was audacious, perhaps even reckless to a fault. Hatched from desperation yet full of hope Ghetto Records came
crashing down shortly after its inception. The seven albums in its discography languished out of print - until now. These are the
definitive reissues of these albums, licensed from Joe Bataan, with his oversight and input into a 16 page oversize book by Pablo
Yglesias that details Bataan’s larger-than-imagination life and his little Latin label that could. Tracks: A1 I Need Her A2 Bendita Illusion
