Released in Fania's Man and His Music series, A Maelo is an absolutely packed double-disc retrospective of singer, bandleader, and composer Ismael Rivera's music. It chronicles his beginnings with la Orquesta Panamericana, to recordings with Kako and Cortijo, and his own band, Sus Cachimbos as well as his solo recordings. Along with the hits "Saoco," "Lo Ultimo en la Avenida," "Ahi Na' Ma," "Traigo Salsa," "Sale el Sol," and "Las Caras Lindas" are numerous rarities including "Son Son Sonero," "Dime Porque," and "Seis de Borinquen." There are live cuts among the many studio issues. While Fania has made many single-disc collections of hits available and reissued many of his albums, this is easily the most comprehensive retrospective they've issued under Rivera's name thus far.
