Hugo Molinares y Sus Magnificos – Salsa, Cumbia y…..Sabor (1984)

What do you get when you combine a 1980′s porn star mustache with the sensibility of a sleeveless Member’s Only jacket?  You get Hugo Molinares of course.  That’s about the only thing I can dis’ Hugo on though as his band plays some fantastic salsa music.  The real problem is trying to find any information at all on Hugo in English, as my Spanish is……how do I say this…..no hablo Espanol.

After several minutes of Googling, I gave up trying to find any info on Hugo.  About all I can tell you is that the album was recorded in Columbia and I’m guessing that’s where Hugo is from.  Other than that, I found that a copy of this same album recently sold for $3.99 on eBay which means that my 50 cent investment has the potential to reap a 500% return.  If only my 401k were tied up in copies of this album, I’d be on a path to early retirement.

Here’s a cool video of Hugo playing keyboard at what appears to be a restaurant. I particularly love the last couple of seconds where the old woman with the walker steps in front of the camera.
