Tony de la Rosa is among the most important figures in the development of the modern (post-1940s) conjunto style. Innovations which he introduced (such as the use of drum set, electric bass, and amplification) were widely adopted, and his pioneering work inspired a whole generation of musicians. Although he is still in great demand around the country, he is in semi-retirement and performs rarely, making this new album, recorded by conjunto fanatic and fellow accordionist Carl Finch of Brave Combo, even more special.
