180g Vinyl LP!
(AAA) Lacquers Cut from the Original Master Tapes by Kevin Gray!

TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the February 2025 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

Bandleader Johnny Pacheco had bigger plans for Celia Cruz and for his celebrated Fania/Vaya label's 1974 release. His idea of creating the consummate conjunto recording lacked one vital ingredient. An exciting partner to lead the ensemble. That person was Celia Cruz. And the well-renowned Celia & Johnny sound was created. At completion, Johnny knew that he had produced the ultimate "salsa" album.

Available on 180g black vinyl in gatefold tip-on jacket and featuring all-analog mastering from the original tapes.

Signing with Fania Records in 1973 brought her to a new level of attention Stateside, and she scored a hit single the following year with 'Quimbara,' the lively and infectious track that kicks off this reissue. Elsewhere on her breakthrough album, Cruz delivers a percolating salsafied adaptation of the traditional Afro-Peruvian folk song 'Toro Mata,' then turns romantic on the bolero 'Vieja Luna' before hitting a triumphant son montuno groove on 'El Paso del Mulo.'
