Recorded in New York and released in 1969 on the Speed Records label, Viva Zapata is the only notable release by pianist and composer Milton Zapata, a Puerto Rican artist and former member of Los Machucambos.

This one-of-a-kind album strikes a perfect balance between salsa, funk, soul, and boogaloo, capturing the vibrant, festive sound of 1960s Spanish Harlem.
