Willie Coln – El Juicio: 50th Anniversary Edition LP

Description

Just this side of a classic, El Juicio is yet another frenetic volume in the continuing series of classics produced by Willie Coln andHector Lavoeduring one of the most fruitful partnerships in Latin music history. WithCosa NuestraandLa Gran Fuga (The Big Break)already under their belt, and a few years of honing their material on the road, Colon andLavoeproduced a pair of classics on El Juicio, the eight-minute “Timbalero,” which approximates the sonic experience of a barnyard parade down 110th Street, and the six-minute “Aguanile,” both of which should have come with caveats for all but the most conditioned salsa dancers. It may not equalCosa Nuestrabefore it orLo Matojust after of it, but El Juicio would be the best moment in any other salsa artist’s catalog. -All Music Guide
