"By 1974, salsa was taking Colombia by storm and so the directors of the INS label (Industria Nacional Del Sonido Ltda), based in Medellín, Colombia, decided to create a band that would appeal to 'salsómanos' (salsa fanatics) and be able to compete with the area's two larger labels, Discos Fuentes and Codiscos. Thus was born the oddly named Los Afroins (a contraction of Afro, indicating the roots of the music, and '-ins', for the label name), an obscure, short-lived combo that would release two albums and six 45s. The repertoire focused on cover versions of hit Afro-Antillean tunes both classic and contemporary. Pianist Agustín Martínez 'El Conde', who would later work with Joe Arroyo and Juan Piña, led the group and did some arranging. INS artistic director Alfredo Linares 'El Inca', the famed Peruvian keyboardist and composer, oversaw the project and guested on piano for several tracks, doing some arranging as well. The vocals were handled by a pair of young as yet unknown singers, Lucho Puerto Rico and Ray Betancourt, who would later go on to more fame in the 1980s, the former with his own Lucho Puerto Rico y su Conjunto Sonero and Conjunto Son del Barrio, and the latter with Willie Salcedo, Reales Brass de Colombia, and Los Caribes. Óscar Toscano "El Márquez Argentino" (whose orchestra backed Palito Ortega in the 1960s) and Luis E Mosquera arranged as well, while the rest of the band was made up of INS-related studio musicians. Their first album, A Gozar Salsomanos Con Los Afroins, is a sought-after collector's item and contains ten brassy, heavy-duty salsa gems that don't let up for the duration of the record. There are covers of salsa hits by Ismael Rivera ('El Nazareno', 'Orgullosa'), Los Ahijados ('Virgen de la Cueva', 'Guayo, Pellizco y Pata'), Roberto de la Barrera ('Sabrosón'), Cheo Marquetti ('Apriétala'), and even the smash pop hit by the French modern classical and electronic music composer Saint-Preux (a great instrumental descarga version of 'Concierto Para Una Sola Voz'). In addition, there are two originals ('Afroinspiración' and 'Cuídate') that are equally hot. The whole package makes for a very satisfying party record that deserves to be more accessible and better known by today's salsómanos who may have heard of Fruko y sus Tesos or Grupo Niche but have yet to discover Los Afroins." -Pablo Iglesias, aka DJ Bongohead Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

Nice product with lots of uses. Strong magnet and great strap
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Used this to replace the Klein magnetic strap on my C-800 multimeter. (This is not easy and takes a lot of manipulation, but if you can get it in the plastic loop on the multimeter up past where the loop in the strap end is sewn, you can use a screwdriver through that to yank it the rest of the way). Once it’s done it’s beautiful! This thing could hold 2 dozen multimeters and it’s MUCH longer without being too long! Otherwise it’s just an awesome strap anyway. It holds a lot of weight (I didn’t test to spec) but definitely enough for what one would expect! I have both sizes, the smaller one is attached to the multimeter and the larger holds a cord to the side of my toolbox. (Tip)- to prevent slipping just put the magnetic base on the other side of the metal by the box tray and let the strap hang over (if attached to a toolbox). It adds to the weight it can hold too. (Just physics). That will work on anything vertical and thin enough to get around with enough slack to still use the strap. 👍. Would definitely buy another

An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Following the compromised operation in Prague, I was tasked with organizing equipment for the embassy annex in Vienna. The VELCRO Brand Magnetic Straps provided an essential solution for securing various tools and equipment to metal surfaces, facilitating quick access during critical moments. The durability of the strap, combined with an impressively strong magnet, ensured that our gear remained in place despite variable operational conditions.
However, the loop formed by the strap could be larger; it limited our options for certain garden hoses, which became a notable drawback. Overall, the robust quality of the straps enhances logistical efficiency in high-pressure scenarios. Katarina's earlier input on this product proved beneficial, although I detected apprehension in her demeanor while discussing its application.
Recommendation: An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment, with minor adjustments needed for cord size.
