Marrero, a Puerto Rican musician working across Latin soul, funk and salsa, made a record that slipped through the cracks at the time, its scarcity later amplifying its reputation. The music itself is direct and sunlit. 'Tiny' and 'Get Yourself Together' ride relaxed funk grooves, while 'Vengo' and 'My Friend' lean into warmer, melodic phrasing. 'Babalonia' remains the centrepiece, its rolling rhythm and vocal hook capturing the record's easy confidence. Elsewhere, 'A Taste Of Latin' lives up to its name, balancing dancefloor energy with loose, band-led interplay. Heard now, it sounds assured, generous and remarkably intact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTiny\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlgo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd We'll Make Love\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVengo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet Yourself Together\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBabalonia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Friend \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Taste of Latin \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TSG Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54025133850908,"sku":"RIMATHGR10822","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/6066\/8345\/files\/a0695050154_10.jpg?v=1775538243","url":"https:\/\/bondirecords.com\/products\/ricardo-marrero-the-group-a-taste-vinyl-lp-record-1","provider":"Bondi Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
