{"product_id":"lucky_7","title":"Lucky 7","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1976, Lucky 7 catches Roberto Roena Y Su Apollo Sound at a particularly sharp point in their run, balancing hard salsa drive with the soul, funk, and jazz colors that always set the group apart. Roena’s percussion keeps everything spring-loaded, while the brass arrives in clipped, muscular bursts and the electric keyboards add a distinctly mid-70s glow. “Mi Desengaño” is the album’s lasting centerpiece, carrying heartbreak with an easy, dance-floor-ready swing rather than sinking into melancholy, while “Fea” shows the band’s lighter, teasing side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with the rawer attack of the early Apollo Sound records, Lucky 7 feels more polished and spacious, but it never loses the rhythmic bite heard on Apollo Sound 6. You can also hear the band moving toward the broader, more orchestrated character of La 8va Maravilla, released the following year. It is an easy record to return to because every part has room to speak: the coro responses, Roena’s crisp percussion, the horn punches, and those small instrumental turns that reveal themselves after a few spins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":67617585135930,"sku":"39958","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-10-02_at_3.32.55_PM.jpg?v=1790969728","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/lucky_7","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
