Album Notes

Victor Guillermo Toro (Touro) (born in Ensenada, Puerto Rico on July 26, 1933) is a guitarist and one of Puerto Rico's most famous cuatro players. Toro is probably best known for performing the opening theme song to the 1971 Woody Allen film Bananas, and for his contributions to various Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe's albums, particularly the by-now classic "Asalto Navideño" and "Feliz Navidad".

I believe it was 1974, when Bobby Marin produced a Christmas album by Yomo Toro and Miguel Poventud. Until recently, the tapes were lost. Bobby did manage to find four of the tracks which are included in this extended play CD. Yomo Toro is famous for his performances with Marc Anthony, Willie Colon and the Fania All Stars. He is recognized at the premier player of the Cuatro, an instrument shaped to look like a guitar but with four strings.
