El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico - No Es De Pena


No Es De Pena by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.

I really couldn't have come up with a better visual than the cover of this album, a live concert recording from 1984, when the members of one of the best-known salsa bands in the world decided on an unusual performing venue: Barrow, Alaska. The album earned them a Grammy nomination, as well as (no doubt) incipient frostbite.
