What can you say about Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe. The Dream Duo of Salsa. I love this album. There is no doubting that the salsa from this era was at its most vibrant, original, and brilliant. And there is also no doubting that Willie Colon (with Hector Lavoe) were its greatest proponents. Anyone wanting to hear salsa at its best needs to listen to the 70's albums of Colon & Lavoe, stuff like Cosa Nuetra, Juicio, La Gran Fuga (Big Break), etc. The modern day salsa has its place, Marc Anthony's albums are very good. But if you want the best you put on a 70's salsa album. Simple as that!

On this one, has some of the classics Barrunto, Panamena, Abuelita...
