Asalto Navideño [180g LP]

by Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon

Overview

A groundbreaking early-'70s recording, Asalto Navideno 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 Murga." ~ John Storm Roberts
