Hal Galper says of Chacho's Metrotang CD:

"Lights Out, by percussionist Chacho Ramirez’s quintet Metrotang, pulsates with the heartbeat of urban Latin music.  Combining salsa and jazz with his Cuban roots, Chacho has created a contemporary sound that expresses today’s cultural milieu.  Whether for listening, dancing or partying, this CD should be in everyone’s collection."
