Cooking with Ray

May 17th, 2009 Posted in Fania, Salsa

I was laying beside the pool today enjoying the sun and “Cocinando” popped into my head, almost on cue.  The cool vocals, spacey keyboards and ubiquitous güiro licks set the tone just right for this 10 minute plus workout.  A perfect track for all your lazy afternoon needs.  Might just be my summer ’09 grilling anthem!

I also am including “Alafia Cumaye” due to how amazing it is.

    For some good “more than lazy” afternoons!
    Cocinando suave… And hopefully enjoying the summer as soon as possible.

    We can’t find your mail address on the blog and we’d like to write you so if your lazy afternoon ended up,let us know.

    Best wishes for this brand new blog.
