    Originally released in 1970 by little-known Chicago imprint Futuro, 'Vamonos / Lets Go!' is the first and only album recorded by Brooklyn neighbourhood salsa band The Orchestra Soledad Led by trombonist and singer Hector Ramos. This ultra rare record was brought to the attention of BBE by DJ Amir and is one of the finest examples of raw, authentic 70s street salsa. Killer!
