Album Notes

La Botija de Abuelito was composed by Rudy Calzado and recorded originally by Jose Fajardo y sus Estrellas in the early 1950's. La Botija de Abuelito has been and always will be one of the staple hits that shot Jose Fajardo (Father) into international star status. Fajardo, Jr. re-recorded this music with a modern twist in memory of his father. This song has also been recorded by other artist such as Conjunto varietal and Dave Santiago & Latin Affair and also featured on Raices Cubanas (100 sones cubanos and 100 Sones Cubanos vol 4). La Botija de Abuelito has also been performed by other artists such as Oscar D'Leon and Tipica 73. This new version is a dancers delight and promisses to make you dance play after play.
