5.0 out of 5 stars Willie and Hector Explode on this album!, June 24, 2000

This review is from: Lo Mato (Audio CD)

Hector Lavoe and Willie Colon open this very dancable album with the classic, Calle Luna Calle Sol. This sing became a calling card for the vioilence that characterized Old San Juan during the 70's, when this album was released. The album is pure energy, with WIllie Colon blasting his trombone through the frenetic Guajira Ven, and Hector improvising in the way that only a true Sonero can in La Maria. The album is the truest tribute to Puerto Rico, and Salsa as only these two men can do. The only thing that saddens me is that you haven't bought this album yet. This album is a MUST if you like Salsa. I have owned TWO copies so far because I wore out the first one from listening to it so much.

Only some simple words: if you like salsa and don't have it, you don't know about salsa, if you have it and don't like it, don't try salsa any more: This is one of the classical and great salsa album.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is indispensable, September 29, 2007

This review is from: Willie Colon Lo Mato (Audio CD)

This album is a must for anyone who likes salsa or even for eventual listeners. If you want to listen to very good salsa instead of the craps that are issued everyday, please never miss this music. The voice of Lavoe is like never and the arrangements of Willie Colon, the orchestra, the brass, everything is impressive. I cannot understand at all why this album is not reissued. Anyway, if you have the chance to get it, do it.
