Hector Lavoe - Strikes Back CD

 His best solo album...
I have listened to all of Hector Lavoe's solo albums, and this is his best one. Hector literaly pours his heart and soul in to this album. The songs Loco, Taxi, Como No Voy a Llorar let you know what Hector was feeling at the time he recorded the album. Sadly, it was his last full solo album. This album was nominated for a grammy in 1987. A classic that is highly recommended.

 Hector Lavoe Strikes Back
I'm not going to say that this was his best work but it was for me the most moving CD of his. The song Taxi brought me to tears it depicts a time of sadness and dispare. This CD is about Hector Juan Perez the man.When Hector sings he speaks to your soul. Ilove the CD but I also love the man and his music.

 Hector strikes back indeed with this1!
Among the other great solos by hector this is my favorite and came out 1987 the year I was born might I add makes me proud to be born that year as one of the greatest salsanero's does his last solo the year I came into this world :). Although his voice wasnt the same from the bad habbits he had before he still had the same great talent as before and did his last solo with perfection every track is a hit on here......POR QUE SOY ASI ME LLAMA LOCOoo .

 "This is my type of salsa music"
The musical arrangements in this CD are great. I'm a salsa lover but there is something about salsa music that really inspires me; and that's salsa played with trombones. I like this type of percussion in salsa, plus the songs and the sounds in this CD are great. I have to say that this is one of the best salsa albums ever recorded by Héctor Lavoe. "Indeed, PONCE ES PONCE". I love this song very much because my girlfriend is also from Ponce, which was also Hector's native puertorrican town.
