Does anyone have info on this artist.. i only have a couple of tracks and reallhy like what i hear.
agustin arce
- Thread starter OneCentSalsero
- Start date
I believe ARce was from Puerto Rico.
He released three albums that I know of, all on Borinquen records.
1) Si Echo Pa Lante
2) Apeate y Oye
3) Stop and Go
All of these are heavy duty funky 1970s salsa. Many tracks have a really hip electric organ/piano montuno that really swings.
I think there was also one in the 1980s which is not as good....
I do not know anything about him personally.

PS - I have seen the first album on Bootleg CD in Puerto Rico.

I asked this question many a time after hearing Echo pa' lante for the first time in 2003-2004. Nobody knows much. Even got an email response from Larry Harlow, along the lines of "the name rings a bell...can't help you."
Did manage to acquire all three Borinquen releases, including Apeate y oye and Stop and go. The last conversation on this topic took place winter 2005 in Naguabo, Puerto Rico. A drunk piano player was diddling around by the Malecon and I offered a CD of some obscure recording to his driver. The driver reciprocated with a live Barretto recording and we started to talk.
Somehow the conversation turned to Arce. "He's gone," was the reply, with a point to the head, indicating gone in mind but not body. Living in Santurce, I believe but gone "due to drugs." Perhaps this is irresponsible of me to post; however, the guy didn't seem to be making stuff up. Curiously, the savant pianist that night had done some time with Harlow's band, although as a fill-in for Harlow himself. At least according to my new friend at the time.
We drank all night until I got in a pissing contest with his friend for reasons I will not discuss. Good times.
