Re-Issued 2003
Editor's Pick:
Superb example of gritty, urban mid-seventies salsa. This 1974 album was produced by Willie Rosario, with arrangements by Papo Lucca, Elias Lopez and Miguel Flores. Vocals by Maelo Cora and Taino Figueroa.
The best tracks, like Junior Espada's composition "El Dolor" and Hector Rivera's killer "Ya No Aguanto Más" grind forward with a percussive momentum that is hard not to dance to. The vocals are relaxed, almost matter-of-fact. This restrained, easygoing style was not uncommon in the '70s, and was made very popular in the songs of Héctor Lavoe.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2003-07-21)
