Noche de fiesta (1975) was Julian Angulo's first album for Colombia's INS label. With arrangements and piano by Alfredo Linares, it contains brilliant hard salsa and "descarga" tracks and the funky dancefloor cuts Tnyere Kumbara', 'INS-Rock' and 'Estoy soda', as well as the excellent original version of 'Las calefias son como las Flores'. The LP's sound combines Cuban, New York and Puerto Rican elements with Colombia's own tropical traditions, featuring funky, jazzy electric guitar, a hot rhythm section and the potent brass line-up of two saxophones and a trumpet.
