Eddie Palmieri's 50th Year Anniversary as a bandleader of salsa and Latin jazz orchestras.
"Azucar Pa' Ti" was the title track to Eddie Palmieri's 1965 groundbreaking album of the same name.
From Jazzwax.com:
Azucar Pa' Ti is a historic Latin-jazz recording for several reasons. The album broke new rhythmic and vocal ground while retaining the music's sensual past. The album also marks the first recording of Palmieri playing his trademark montuno (repeated syncopated vamp) with one hand while soloing with the other.
Most of all, Azucar Pa' Ti launched a form of music that trombonist Willie Colon and singer Hector Lavoe would leverage two years later to develop what is now known as arena salsa in the 1970s.
