Here the legendary ensemble leans into a fierce hybrid: congas, timbales and bass pumping with street-level urgency while horns blast bright hooks and the rhythm section locks into a funk-edged stride. The result is salsa pushed to its most driving, electric edges — built for dancers, DJs and full-band fire.

“Rhythm Machine” stands as one of the Fania All Stars’ most kinetic documents: tight, bold and charged with the unstoppable momentum that made them giants of the Afro-Caribbean groove.
