Dichoso from Native Sons by Los Lobos

From Willie Bobo’s 1966 album Feelin’ So Good. Bobo moved to Los Angeles in the early ‘70s and played with some of the biggest names in music, fusing influences from Afro-Cuban jazz, Latin, Soul and Rock, becoming an East L.A. institution.

David: We got to know Willie and his son. We would do shows together with Willie and that got us closer to the Latin audience. Cesar did a great job with it.

Cesar: I recorded 90% of this at my home, trying to do justice to Willie’s effortless vocals, then later we added horns and replaced my percussion with someone who really could do the job right, Camilo Quinones.
