*** LINER NOTES
Grupo Latin Vibe was born in New York City in the mid 1990's, when Anibal "Tito" Rivera and Tommy Mattioli met at a music arranging class. Originally named TnT Mix, the band changed their name to Grupo Latin Vibe after becoming the Friday night house band at The Parkside Lounge from 2000 ~ 2013. During those 12 years, the group produced 3 albums (“Mambo City” in the spring of 2003, “All That Vibe” in July of 2005, and “Amanacer” in the spring of 2007), released on CD's, and became internationally recognized as one of the best bands for salsa dancing. This album, “Nostalgia”, released on vinyl record, is a recompilation and remastering of a few top hits of the past 3 albums, including "La Llave", which is still played today by salsa dance instructors and DJ's worldwide. --Tommy Mattioli, May 2024
