Editor's Pick:
“Guisando” is really the first salsa album by a duo. Getting away from the decadent boogaloo, in “Guisando”, “No Me Den Candela”, “El Titán”, “Oiga Señor”, “I Wish I Had A Watermelon” (Willie’s response to the hit Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock who recorded with Mongo Santamaría), “Te Están Buscando” by the pianist Mark Dimond and in “Se Baila Mejor”, the duo approaches the guaracha, the guajira, the son, the Puerto Rican bomba, Latin jazz and the guaguancó, with quite a lot of bold and clever fusions during a period in which the arrangers of small bands, such as Joel Pastrana and Pete Rodríguez, composed in a circular and risk-free manner.
With “Guisando”, Colón and Lavoe present a rebellious, aggressive and irreverent style of making music. A revolutionary salsa in which the odor of garbage accumulated on the corner of the ghetto, the captivating aroma of marijuana, the shouting of nude children in the back alley, the insults of the prostitutes to the pimps and the desire for happiness among the boricua diaspora discriminated against in the Iron (Tower of) Babel, can be perceived... - Jaime Torres Torres (BP, 2011-07-14)
