Tommy Olivencia y Su Orquesta - Planté Bandera (pre-order)
Planté Bandera is a classic salsa album from Tommy Olivencia y Su Orquesta, originally released in 1975 and widely regarded as one of the defining records of the golden era of salsa. Featuring the powerful vocals of Chamaco Ramírez, the album captures the energetic, brass-driven sound that made Olivencia’s orchestra a cornerstone of Puerto Rican salsa.
The record blends tight big-band arrangements with soulful, improvisational singing, especially on standout tracks like “Trucutú,” “Planté Bandera,” and “Evelio y la Rumba.” Lyrically and musically, it reflects themes common in salsa dura: pride, resilience, romance, and street-level storytelling, all delivered with rhythmic intensity and strong percussion.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
