Right On

A track from Barretto Power described as an understated empowerment anthem.
Ray Barretto, from Barretto Power (1970)

"Right On" is on Barretto Power, which uDiscover describes as one of its politically charged tracks and a socially conscious Latin soul piece. A search summary of an NPR review, which we could not open, calls it a rock, funk and boogaloo tune with a unison bass and piano figure and lyrics on pride in his multicultural New York upbringing. Bobby Sanabria told JazzTimes in 2019, per uDiscover, that Barretto could be found at a rally protesting some injustice.

We found no writer credit, recording date, studio, chart history, video, setlist.fm count, covers or samples, and have assumed but not verified that our upload is the Barretto Power track.
