NYC Albert Cabrera needs no introduction but perhaps a brief walk through down memory lane of his 31 year musical journey.

While Albert is better known as one half of the Latin Rascals and one half of Lee Cabrera you may also want to know that if you danced to classics like India's "Love & Happiness", Barbara Tucker's "Beautiful People" or David Morales "Needing U", then you were also grooving to Albert's musical tricks for the dance floor and if you have listened to classics like New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle", then you have listened to Albert as a percussionist.

Albert Cabrera's 31 years takes us through a musical journey through all kinds of genres; starting as a Master Mix DJ for New York's hottest radio stations WKTU (1982-1985) and 98.7 Kiss FM as the main 3 hour master mix DJs (1985-1989).
