Caunedo – Fire & Sugar is a sought-after Afro-Latin jazz-funk masterpiece originally released in 1975 and now officially reissued on audiophile heavyweight vinyl. Recorded in Puerto Rico and originally issued on Montilla Records, Fire & Sugar captures Cuban multi-instrumentalist Jesús “La Grulla” Caunedo at his most adventurous. A respected figure who worked alongside legends including Tito Puente, Machito, Celia Cruz and Chico O'Farrill, Caunedo fused Afro-Cuban rhythms, jazz-funk grooves, Latin percussion and psychedelic guitar textures into a deeply forward-thinking release. From explosive dancefloor material to atmospheric jazz-fusion explorations, the album has long been prized by collectors, DJs and rare groove enthusiasts worldwide. This definitive reissue has been transferred from the original reel-to-reel master tapes and includes a previously unreleased track, restoring the warmth, punch and dynamic range of the original recordings. Pressed on audiophile 180g vinyl with a deluxe gatefold sleeve and liner notes by DJ Bongohead, this edition is essential for fans of Afro-Latin jazz, rare groove, Latin funk, jazz-fusion and classic 1970s dancefloor sounds.
