With the exception of one song left off due to lack of space, this single CD reissues the music from two LPs featuring Chucho Valdes in Cuba. 1972's Jazz Bata, the first five selections, features the great pianist in a rhythm section with bassist Carlos del Puerto and Oscar Valdes on congas. The originals, which are straight-ahead jazz that utilizes Cuban polyrhythms, show off Valdes' wondrous technique well, and include one song named after Valdes' famous group "Irakere." While "Laureen" is an emotional out-of-tempo ballad, some of the other songs find the pianist making a great deal out of very little including the lengthy vamp piece "Son No. 2." He never seems to run out of ideas. The final five selections are from 1982 and have Valdйs leading a five-piece rhythm section plus guest German Velasco.

El Chavo del 8 fue una serie de televisión cómica mexicana creada por Roberto Gómez Bolaños, producida por Televisión Independiente de México (más tarde, Televisa)
El programa trata sobre las vivencias de un grupo de personas que habitan en una vecindad mexicana donde su protagonista, El Chavo, lleva a cabo travesuras junto con sus amigos que ocasionan malentendidos y discusiones entre los mismos vecinos, por lo general de tono cómico. El guion surgió de un sketch escrito por Gómez Bolaños en donde un niño pobre de 8 años discute con un vendedor de globos en un parque. Se le prestó una mayor importancia al desarrollo de los personajes, a los cuales se les asignó una personalidad distintiva. Desde un comienzo, su creador contempló que El Chavo estaría dirigido al público adulto, no al infantil, aún cuando se tratara de adultos interpretando a niños. El elenco principal estuvo integrado por Gómez Bolaños, Ramón Valdés, Carlos Villagrán, María Antonieta de las Nieves, Florinda Meza, Rubén Aguirre, Angelines Fernández y Édgar Vivar, que interpretaron a El Chavo, Don Ramón, Quico, la Chilindrina, Doña Florinda, el profesor Jirafales, Doña Clotilde y el señor Barriga, respectivamente. La dirección y producción de la serie recayeron en Enrique Segoviano y en Carmen Ochoa.
A limited edition of the Camarуn de la Isla 'Integral' box-set. It represents a veritable journey through his life and singing. It includes 21 original albums. The first 17 of them were made in recording studios by Camaron from 1969 to 1992 while he was alive. "A generally calmer atmosphere can be noticed in this album". The second album of Camaron de la Isla, with the special collaboration of Paco de Lucia, was released at the start of the new decade. The graphic design of the first album was maintained, with photos of both of them and similar headings, but in this one Perez de Leуn went even further and placed the pair face to face in a position similar to the Mountain of Olives, complete with cross and an apocalyptic horizon in red tones. The yellowed faces of the performers made them seem as if they had just suffered an attack of severe hepatitis. Ole'! Leуn.
