50th Anniversary Edition 180g Vinyl LP!
Third Gold Record by the Powerhouse Salsa Duo!
All-Analog Mastering from the Original Tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio!
In this eighth recording, Willie Colón continues to bank on his "gangster" image, this time showcasing an illustration on the cover where the young bandleader from the Bronx is on trial. Colón stretches his wings by mixing genres of Brazilian samba into son-montuno, Afro-Cuban religious rhythms and Puerto Rican bomba and danza - all showcasing lead singer Héctor Lavoe's vocals. Colón's mature musical vision outpaces his young years and developing skills.
