Numero

The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

presented in deluxe numero style with a 12 x 12 inch, 24 page booklet in a full-sized slipcase. far from the twin epicenters of new york and miami, carlos ruiz and his ebirac label were both feeling and generating the aftershocks of the mid-70s salsa boom. holed up in their own bustling puerto rican community center on chicago's west side, these third coast salseros plied their trade outside the hot lights, cutting their teeth in city parks, vfw halls, and holiday inn rec rooms. nearly 50 records survive in the wake of orquestas la justicia, la solucion, and tipica leal 79, the most impassioned, singular moments of which are compiled here.
