Juan Luis & Sus Mulatos

"La Ola":  This is a Merengue song made in the island of Puerto Rico in the Summer of 85.  The band was led by Bass player Juan Luis, hence the name "Juan Luis & Sus Mulatos".  The singer was Juanchy Vasquez, whose particular voice and singing style allowed him to have his own successful music project later on in NYC.

A very interesting feature in the making of this song is the fusion of Merengue and Plena.
