Soul Station #1, a founding member of the band Melting Pot and west coast support for Tony Allen (creator of afro-beat), is featured on sax.  Tomas \"Norm\" Ochoa holds steady on bass, giving the tune a big, juicy, low end.  Percussionist Roberto R. Salguero (Leche, Poolside, Amandititita) drives the percussion bus all the way home, back, and home again.Side B takes the listener on a South American\/Caribbean adventure with \"La Torta\". Originating as a traditional guaracha rhythm in Cuba, the song was covered in Peru, and then re-imagined by Los Angeles-based The Royal Palms.  TRP features the magic fingers of Roberto E. Sotelo (Allentons, Arise Roots) plucking away on guitar with a sense of urgency, creating sounds of soul stirring and atmospheric bliss.This is a 7\" gem that deejays and the casual listener will to rush to add to their collections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53556745077110,"sku":"0606615015172","price":16.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_11179409_407186_20250311081728.jpg?v=1741728710","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0606615015172-la-rooka","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
