Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe - Asalto Navideno Vol. II

Willie Colón — Asalto Navideño Vol. II

180-gram "Evergreen" vinyl LP 50th Anniversary Limited Edition!

The party goes on! Here, in the second part of the historic Christmas salsa album Asalto Navideño, Willie Colón and vocalist Héctor Lavoe & Yomo Toro treat us to more of the special sounds that made Volume 1 of the collection one of the most popular Latin music albums of all time.

In Volume 2, the bad boy team of bandleader/trombonist Willie Colón and inimitable singer Lavoe joins forces again with premier cuatro player Yomo Toro and legendary percussionists Milton Cardona and José Mangual Jr. to cook up New York salsa versions of typical Christmas songs familiar to Puerto Rican audiences of all ages. This típico sound of traditional country music, called música jíbara, is mixed and blended, salsa-style, with a range of other rhythms, starting with Cuban guaguancó and son montuno and African American jazz.
