Ray Barretto - Acid (Reissue) #raybarretto

A landmark release from Ray Barretto returns. 💥 Acid (1968) introduced Barretto’s Fania era with a bold, genre-defying sound—bringing together Latin soul, boogaloo, jazz, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Featuring performances by Adalberto Santiago and a powerhouse band, the album was recorded live in-studio, giving tracks like “El Nuevo Barretto” and “A Deeper Shade of Soul” their unmistakable energy. Recorded live, raw, and full of improvisation, it became one of Barretto’s most influential albums. Acid helped lay the groundwork for the salsa movement that followed. Available now on 180-gm vinyl for pre-order. Fans and crate diggers can also find a limited-edition Orange Sunshine color pressing (only 350 copies), as a stand-alone or bundled with a collectible “Acid” T-shirt, featuring the album cover art, available at Fania.com, in addition to a Fat Beats limited-edition (only 300 copies) Marbled Yellow color vinyl variant. ↓ Reserve your copy today. ↓ 🔗 https://ffm.to/ray-barretto-acid-2026-pivot #RayBarretto #HardHands #ManosDuras #Acid #LatinJazz #LatinSoul #Fania #FaniaRecords #ClassicSalsa #FaniaVinyl
