Pete Rodriguez (aka “The King Of The Boogaloo” ) “I Like It Like That (A Mi Me Gusta Asi)”   Alegre Records.   A Latin Soul classic. Personnel include: Pete Rodriguez (piano); Tony Pabon (vocals, trumpet); Alberto Gonzalez, Richie Rodriguez (vocals); Angelo Rodriguez (trumpet); Gilberto “Tiny” Archeval (bass guitar); Manny Rodriguez (congas); Benny Bonilla (timbales).   The group’s having a non-stop party on the album with heavy piano lines, rumbling bass underneath the grooves, tight timbales, and some shouted lyrics in English that are always very catchy.   The title cut, “I Like It Like That”, is the sort of groover that you’ll be singing for years — even after hearing it only once — and the album’s filled with other great cuts, like “Pete’s Madness”, “Micaela”, and “3 and 1” (Dusty Groove)
