Just wanted to drop in here and post that the Irakere album "Bailando Así" is just incredible... If you enjoy 'salsa' type music, that is (although this is not salsa, per se).
The musicianship is simply astounding.
The recording is dynamic, but definitely brash and can be grating on some systems. The record was mixed to play LOUD from LP, not digital. From about 1985.
If you want to sample a bit on YouTube:

Moving to Brasil, this is a pretty special album. Audiophile approved too, on Chesky Records.

As one comment noted “Bonzo tried to kill the drums, she beat them like they owe her child support”
Still very much like the Playing for Change version.
