Eddie Palmieri The Sun of Latin Music

Eddie Palmieri's 1974 Studio Album The Sun of Latin Music on LP. This Was the First Latin Album to Win a Grammy Award.

Legendary producer and label owner Harvey Averne continues the Coco Records story with the essential The Sun Of Latin Music by Eddie Palmieri.

Palmieri, younger brother of Charlie Palmieri, is an acclaimed pianist, composer and musical conjurer who has worked with the top exponents in Salsa and Cuban music for over 70 years. Prodigy of the legendary Tito Rodriguez and founder of La Perfecta, the band whose signature sound changed the course of Latin music, Palmieri is still performing and recording today.

He took the influences of his mentors and collaborators and fused them with the sounds of his childhood in the Bronx and the Soul-Funk-drenched streets of Harlem redefining the “New York Latin Sound” for the disco generation.
