Product Details

The partnership between Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe defined the sound of New York salsa through the late '60s and early '70s, blending street-level Bronx grit with deep Caribbean roots in a way that changed what Latin music could be in America. Catching this album at the seam of that era, with Rubén Blades stepping into the picture for the first time, makes it a genuinely pivotal document in Fania's remarkable run.

Willie Colón’s 1975 Fania release pairs Héctor Lavoe’s vocals with Puerto Rican cuatro master Yomo Toro in their final album together before Lavoe’s solo debut. It also marks Colón’s first collaboration with Rubén Blades, who wrote and performed the samba-guaguancó “El Cazanguero.” Highlights include Colón’s “Gūaracha” and Lavoe’s “Qué Bien Te Ves.” This remastered 180-gram vinyl reissue is AAA mastered and cut from the original master tapes for exceptional sound.
