Perhaps he got the idea from one of his hits in the previous album &#8220;Herido&#8221;, where the hit &#8220;Ambiente&#8221; starts at a normal pace, but then moves into a speedy coro as the song progresses.<\/p>\n<p>But this was not the first or the last album in which Raphy Leavitt infused a faster paced to some of La Selecta salsa songs.
