Perfecta 76-77 – La Perfecta, 1977

🎺🥁🇲🇶🎶🔥 In 1977, La Perfecta was still under the direction of Daniel Ravaud. Michel Godzom and Simon Jurad were still on board. Paulo Albin, Marius Priam and Vico Charlemagne are still on board, and the orchestra is already one of Martinique’s leading lights. With its mix of compas, cadenza and Latin influences, Perfecta 76-77 features a number of unstoppable tracks, including the irresistible Merengue Tamanoir, and the hotly-anticipated Tet Pou Tchiou, with its brass arrangements that have little to envy the salsa stars of the day. The geometric cover, in black and white with red highlights, is also one of the most recognisable of the group’s albums, the only one released by 3A Production.
