 notes:

Few artists captured the energy of Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban music 
quite like Willie Bobo. His recording of “Do That Thing (Guajira)”, released
 on Tico Records SLP 1108, showcases the rhythmic sophistication
 and infectious groove that made him one of the most influential 
percussionists of his era.
The track blends traditional guajira rhythms with modern Latin jazz 
arrangements, creating a vibrant sound that remains popular among 
collectors, DJs, and enthusiasts of classic Afro-Cuban music. Rich 
percussion, dynamic horn sections, and soulful melodies 
define this timeless performance.
