Driven by Barretto’s powerful conga playing and the dynamic vocals of Adalberto Santiago, the album blends danceable grooves with experimental textures, moving effortlessly between hard-hitting Latin soul tracks like “A Deeper Shade of Soul” and hypnotic Afro-Cuban jams such as the title track “Acid.” The record became one of Fania’s defining releases, helping shape the sound that would later evolve into modern salsa while still embracing the psychedelic and R\u0026amp;B influences of the era. The 180-gram reissue preserves the album’s warm analog sound and vibrant percussion, making it both a historical milestone and an essential listen for fans of Latin jazz and classic salsa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Cuartito Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47569324277950,"sku":null,"price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4223\/9678\/files\/ab67616d0000b273b32c5cdbd5ba5bbf8ba3e9ea.jpg?v=1779468948","url":"https:\/\/elcuartitorecords.com\/products\/ray-barretto-acid-180g","provider":"El Cuartito Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
