Rare original 1970 US first stereo pressing of Joey Pastrana And His Orchestra – Joey En Carnavale on Cotique Records (CS-1048). This explosive album captures Joey Pastrana at the height of New York’s boogaloo and salsa crossover era, blending raw Afro-Caribbean rhythms with Latin soul energy and festive carnival spirit.

The LP includes the hard-driving descarga “Joey’s Thing,” Eddie Palmieri’s “Quidate Company,” and Latin soul renditions of George Harrison’s “Something” and Armando Manzanero’s bolero “Esta Tarde Vi Llover.” Standout tracks like “Cha Ca Boom” and “Carnival On Broadway” showcase Joey’s signature mix of funky brass, percussion-heavy grooves, and vibrant coro vocals.

Backed by a stellar band featuring Carlos Santos (lead vocals), Emilio Perez (piano), Charlie Rodriguez (bass), Willie Pastrana (congas), Dave Gonzalez, Joe Trapanese & Larry Spencer (trumpets), Jack Hitchcock & Robert Rolon (trombones), this Cotique release is a prime example of the golden era of Latin New York. Recorded at Broadway Recording Studios, mastered at Sterling Sound, with cover art by Wally Caldwell and photography by Chuck Stewart.
