Ricardo Ray and Orchestra blend salsa, guarachas, son montunos and Latin jazz into a vibrant Nuyorican classic, pressed on black 12" vinyl.

Ricardo Ray's classic Latin jazz, pressed on 12' black vinyl. In his third album on the Fonseca Label and ¡Andale!'s second reissue of Ray's material, Ricardo Ray's talent became evermore expansive. Ray again reprises his role as bandleader of a group of young street salsa players and vocalist Bobby Cruz. On this album, Ray covers the entire spectrum of Brooklyn Nuyorican music, from songs that lament the Cuba of memory to the assimilation of the Black struggle in New York. The LP features descargas, boleros, guarachas, guaguancos, son montunos and jazz mambos. Years ahead of his time, 3 Dimensions shows Ray formalizing genre and inventing new ones at once.
