Album Notes & Community Reviews
Cementing his partnership with the unparalleled vocalist H茅ctor Lavoe, the teenage trombonist delivered a foundational pillar of the New York salsa dura movement. The arrangements are deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban rhythms but injected with an aggressive, street-level energy that perfectly captured the burgeoning Nuyorican cultural explosion. It established the duo as the undeniable kings of the Fania Records empire.
