EGREM/Areito Records (cover designer: unknown, musical direction and orchestration: Juan Carlos Alfonso), "Si Dan... Den" by Juan Carlos y su Dan Den, 1980. Vinyl LP, 33 RPM.

This album showcases the iconic Areito label design, featuring EGREM's (Empresa de Grabaciones y Ediciones Musicales) distinctive bright red record label with the stylized Taíno indigenous mask logo. EGREM, Cuba's state-run recording and publishing enterprise founded in 1964, became the primary vehicle for producing and distributing Cuban music after the Revolution, controlling all commercial music production on the island.

The cover design employs bold yellow hand-lettering over a dynamic black-and-white performance photograph, capturing bandleader Juan Carlos Alfonso mid-performance with drumsticks raised. This energetic image reflects the explosive popularity of Cuban dance music in the 1980s. The typography's playful arrangement of "SI DAN... DEN" creates visual rhythm that mirrors the album's infectious salsa and timba grooves.

Juan Carlos Alfonso and his orchestra Dan Den represented an important evolution in Cuban popular music during the late 1970s and 1980s, bridging traditional son cubano with contemporary arrangements. The album features arrangements by Alfonso with lyrics by Tony López, Alonso Levy, López Blanco, and others. Track listings include "Solve (Traigo Boniatillo)," "Se Parte De Mi Vida" (a bolero in salsa by Tony Lomas), "El Chico Suchel" (a son), and "Te Corto El Agua y La Luz" (a danzón by Nelson Marchena). The back cover's multiple band photographs document the collective nature of Cuban popular music-making during this era, showing the full Dan Den ensemble that brought these arrangements to life in Cuban dance halls and on state radio.
