| | Hector Lavoe Strikes Back CD Hector Lavoe Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
LaVoe and Willie Colon came blazing out of the bugalu era and wrote a new script for New York salsa during the late '60s and early '70s: a script that included Puerto Rican and Panamanian graftings on the basic Cuban scion, and a tough lyricism that spoke of "barrio" problems to a "barrio audience". Then the pair split, and eventually Ruben Blades filled LaVoe's place in the Colon band's developing persona. Now -- for this album at least -- LaVoe and Colon are back together with that fat, macho trombone sound and the old width of reference (including a splendid plena, "En el Fiando.") ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
Personnel: Héctor Lavoe (vocals); Justo Betancourt, Milton Cardona, Tito Allen, Willie Colón (vocals); Leopoldo Pineda, Lewis Kahn (trombone); Jose Arturo Ortiz (keyboards); Oskar Cartaya (bass guitar); Bobby Allende (congas); Raymond Colon (bongos); Marc Quiñones (timbales, percussion).

Strikes Back Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 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 .

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No "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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 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.

Due to the international success of In the Heart of the Moon, Mandé lineage griot Toumani Diabaté wanted to make a follow-up with fellow Malaian, the legendary guitarist Ali Farka Touré. The first record had been cut in Niafunke, Touré's home village in the north of Mali, Diabaté contacted World Circuit's Nick Gold about doing the follow-up in London, where the pair was due to play a couple of concerts. Gold agreed and suggested they include Cuban bassist Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez on the session. There was some urgency: Touré was dying. The sessions were cut over four days in June of 2005; this is his last recording. The contents are made up of improvisations and new versions of old songs from both men's regions. Opener "Ruby" is a gorgeous improvisation, where Touré doesn't play the role of guitar slinger, but of a guitarist playing only for his own enjoyment, softly, gently, with his trance-like hypnotic rhythm, allowing Diabaté to let his kora flow over the modal pattern. Cachaito makes the first of five appearances here. "Sabu Yerkoy" is a proper entrance. It is Touré's take on Cuban salsa (with his son on congas). The rhythmic interplay ...
