Salsa System 10” Vinyl on Electric Cowbell Records
Recorded and self-released as a demo in 2006. This epic three song EP was engineered by the legendary Jon Fausty of Fania Records and includes three original salsa classics: Madrugador, Orgullo and Tu No Sabes. The captivating cover art is by singer/composer Rei Alvarez who meshes his two favorite folk cultures together in one featuring the Samurai Vejigante. The limited edition 10” also features the bonus track of Bionic Boogaloo - another classic Bio Ritmo’s rework of the theme from the 6 Million Dollar Man.

Merge Records Reissues “Pirguero” 7inch
To commemorate Bio Ritmo’s 30-year anniversary, Merge and Electric Cowbell Records are reissuing the group’s 7-inch single “Piragüero” b/w “Asia Minor” Originally released on Merge in 1996.
A-Side “Piragüero” is an original track that features the soaring, soulful vocals from Bio Ritmo’s longest-running member, percussionist and composer Rei Alvarez. (He also designed the single’s festive artwork!) The flip side is a mambo classic from the 50’s popularized by the great cuban bandleader Machito, whom Bio Ritmo regarded as a major influence. This record is a snapshot of the raw essence of Bio Ritmo in its early years that laid the foundation for the band’s evolution and endurance.
