Being one hundred percent Puerto Rican, I had to pick up this record when I spotted it in the used record bins. "Borinquen Disco Party" is a medley of traditional Puerto Rican songs-some dating from the early 20th century-set to a Disco beat. Of course it is sung in Spanish so it will not be understood by most non Hispanic people and this is vocal heavy until the instrumental breaks further in.
Admittedly, this isn't great and I don't see how it could have been played in a club environment as the Discos of San Juan were known for cutting edge music back in the day. As well intentioned as this album is, it would have cleared the floor.
