Johnny Pacheco
Tres de Café y Dos de Azúcar

review

by John Bush

Tres de Café y Dos de Azúcar was the last Johnny Pacheco album to feature Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez, although the two worked together on El Conde’s first solo album. Although it’s not the best produced by the two, it has more range than most, from suave balladry (which looked ahead to El Conde’s solo career) to a swift merengue called “Los Diablitos” (which Pacheco wrote to salute his Dominican heritage).
