On ‘Sacodis’ we have this 1980 album. Aboudou Lassissi
presents Charanga para todos, charanga for everybody.
On this volume 1 we hear ‘Monguito’ as lead vocalist,
backed by Adalberto Santiago, José Alberto and Ronnie
Baro. On piano – Alfredito Valdez, bass – Joe Santiago,
trumpet – Hector Zarzuela, sax – Mario Ravira, trombone –
Esteve Torrez, drum – Manny Ramos, conga bongo –
Marcelino Valdez and bass guitar – Edy Guagua.
Strange thing is that album sleeve doesn’t say anything
about lead vocals. I found a site on the web that claims
it is just Monguito. However if I am not so sure, don’t we
hear Laba Sosseh in track 3, what do you think ?
tracks;
1 Son de la loma
2 En Guantanamo
3 En el monte
4 Se muere fermin
tremendo disco gracias

Great record moos. The sacodis salsa Lps have always been my favorite releases by the label. My copy of “charanga para todos” didn’t have any info on the back sleeve.
About the songs, monguito sings lead only on the wonderful “son de la loma.” You can also hear him in the background on “el guantanamo” and of course, the vocalists name check him.
You’re right, it is Laba on “el monte.” Ivorian Doh Albert pops up for a few seconds. Monguito’s version of this classic appeared on two other Sacodis releases.
Not sure about the other leads, could be one of the all star vocalists on coro:
Adalberto Santiago – veteran back up singer for Fania
Jose ‘el canario” Alberto
Ronnie Baro – another veteran who also sessioned with Dexter Jonhson and later Africando
Thanks,

sin duda en el track 3 canta Laba sosseh y Doh alber hace una pequeña estrofa.

The trombone player is Steve Turre and
the violinist is Felix “Pupi” Legarreta, they obviously chose to leave him uncredited and they “Latin-ized” Steves Turre’s name.
The late Marcelino Valdés plays bongoes (a member of the Valdés musical dynasty in Cuba)
Interesting follow up to Vol. 1
Thanks for the post.

La razón del porqué este álbum no se tiene como una compilación o autoría de varios intérpretes, es porque su creador es Monguito, quien aparece en los créditos como el “Director Musical”, lo anterior es tan cierto que en el track 2 “En Guantánamo” el coro así lo dice “Oye Monguito, que bueno suena to orquesta” (4:25 y ss.)
