The Story
In this eighth recording, Willie ColĂłn 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. ColĂłn 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 HĂ©ctor Lavoe's vocals. ColĂłn's mature musical vision outpaces his young years and developing skills.
