1	Asalto Navideño (1970) more music like this by Willie Colón/Hector Lavoe A groundbreaking early-'70s recording, Asalto Navideño was a Christmas album, and Christmas is the time when the old jibaro mountain sound comes briefly into its own. Colon hired cuatro player Yomo Toro and gave him a leading role, launching him on a new career. A major album, it includes one of Colon's finest Panamanian-flavored early hits, "La ... see all copies from $5.70! new only from $5.70!
2	Live at the Cheetah, Vol. 2 (1973) more music like this by Fania All-Stars see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
3	Tras La Tormenta (1995) more music like this by Willie Colón Tras la Tormenta marks yet another chapter in one of salsa's most prosperous collaborations: trombonist/arranger/vocalist Willie Colón and the powerhouse sonero Rubén Blades. With his trademark all-trombone horn section and rich vocal timbre, Colón and his band sound unmistakably powerful and dark. Blades, as the world has come to expect, is an ... see all copies from $2.37! new only from $2.37!
4	La Historia: The Hit List [CD/DVD] (2007) more music like this by Willie Colón Shortly after Emusica Records released The Player: A Man and His Music, a double-disc compilation of Willie Colón's Fania output spanning a 20-year period, from the mid-'60s to the mid-'80s, Sony BMG countered with a decade-spanning compilation of its own, La Historia: The Hit List. The big difference is, Colón's Fania output greatly overshadows ... see all copies from $10.05! new only from $16.59!
5	Vigilante (1983) more music like this by Willie Colón & Hector Lavoe The 1983 Vigilante, the last recording Colon made with his longtime singer Lavoe, has three substantial cuts with the classic Colon sound. The title song, sung by Colon, is more experimental and a less successful one. The title track also includes both rock and jazz soloing.

6	Cosa Nuestra (1969) more music like this by Willie Colón Willie Colón's first masterpiece benefits from the inventive arrangements of Colón and "recording director" Johnny Pacheco, plus the most precise, intricate group playing heard from any second-generation salsero leader. And Hector Lavoe's vocals are probably his best on record, opening with the brisk, catchy, effusive "Che Che Cole" and "No Me ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
7	The Player: A Man and His Music (2007) more music like this by Willie Colón During the '90s and early 2000s, when the Fania catalog lay out of print for years, it was difficult for fans of salsa's greatest label to find anything by their favorites without scouring the bins or forking out a lot of money. Emusica's purchase of the catalog in the early 2000s began paying dividends immediately with great album reissues, but ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $17.69!
8	Live at the Cheetah, Vol. 1 (1971) more music like this by Fania All-Stars Recorded live at New York's premier discotheque with the usual, stellar All-Stars lineup, the groove is incessant, the mood exultant, and the players palpably happy with the audience and themselves as they exchange licks. The tunes are a bit long -- "Quitate Tu," the closer, is a 16-minute jam session in which the band members one by one ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $12.01!

11 view cover	Siembra (1978) more music like this by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades The high point of Willie Colón's ongoing collaboration with Rubén Blades (and close to a career peak for both artists), Siembra exploded on the salsa scene in 1978 and has never been forgotten by fans. Beginning with a minute of playfully deceptive quasi-disco arrangements, Colón and his band slip into a devastating salsa groove for the opener, ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
12 view cover	El Malo (1967) more music like this by Willie Colón El Malo was Colon and Hector Lavoe's first-ever recording, made in 1967 when Colon was a mere 17 years old. Every number's a killer: "Jazzy," "Juana Pena," "Borinquen," "El Malo." Plus boogalu! Carl Hoyt, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!

15 view cover	La Gran Fuga (The Big Break) (1970) more music like this by Willie Colón Already one of the most feared young talents on the salsa scene, Willie Colón and his partner in crime Héctor Lavoe showcased not only confidence but a surprising flexibility and independence on 1970s La Gran Fuga (The Big Break). Case in point was the first song, "Ghana'e," based on an African children's song and given a vocal reading (by both ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!

(1997) more music like this by Various Artists A New Yorker dedicated to promoting multiculturalism, Dan Storper opened the small Latin-oriented craft and clothing store Putumayo in Manhattan's Soho section before going on to found and head his label, Putumayo World Music. Putumayo had released over 22 albums (everything from reggae to Celtic music to Afro-pop) by the time it turned the ... see all copies from $11.75!

22 view cover	Tiempo Pa' Matar (1984) more music like this by Willie Colón Colon, one of the most creative heads of the '60s, has retained the same restlessness and inquiring mind, and the same ability to come up with music both beguiling and intelligent. (Check out the use of the female coro in "Volo" on this album.) With fine vocals and fine musicians, who would dare claim to spot all the stylistic sideglances under ... see all copies from $12.07! new only from $12.07!
23 view cover	The Good, the Bad, the Ugly (1975) more music like this by Willie Colón This classic recording is by one of the most creative heads in New York salsa. In 1975 The Good.., a New Directions release after Colon got fed up with the two-trombone sound, was the evidence that he could reach beyond his youthful sound into an idiom both wider and deeper. It was also the last album with Hector Lavoe, who had decided to stay a ... see all copies from $7.58! new only from $12.01!
24 view cover	Live at Yankee Stadium, Vol. 1 (1976) more music like this by Fania All-Stars In the '70s, Fania Records was often called "the Motown of salsa," and in fact, Fania was every bit as important to salsa as Motown was to soul. Fania's '70s roster boasted some of the decade's biggest names in Afro-Cuban music; so when Fania assembled a band called the Fania All-Stars, you knew that some major-league salseros would be on board. ... see all copies from $7.78! new only from $12.01!
