Ricardo Eddy Martinez’s 1978 album Expreso Ritmico brings orchestral arrangements, funk and disco into conversation with Afro-Cuban percussion and vocal harmonies. Martinez directed, wrote and orchestrated the sessions, with Adolfo Pichardo producing for Areito. The title track moves from Latin disco into a percussion-led passage, while Tambo Iya draws on Afro-funk and Este Tumbao explores a more psychedelic sound. Que La Tristeza Se Fue later provided material for Jazzanova’s Look What You Are Doing To Me. Mr Bongo’s edition returns the album to vinyl with a sleeve reproducing the original Cuban design, preserving the visual character of the release alongside the music.
