Hustler

Add to Cart$9.99 ... LP (reissue)
(€7.36 || £6.30 || ¥938) (approx.)
LP (Item 69075) Fania, Late 60s — Condition: New Copy

Brilliant early work from a young Willie Colon – a true hustler if there ever was one! The album has an amazing energy that really bridges a number of Latin scenes – it's part descarga jamming, part Latin soul, and part traditional Latin – put together with a no-nonsense approach that makes the whole thing come off like magic. A young Hector LaVoe is on lead vocals, but the real star here is the group – who have a lean, mean, stripped-down sound that's really great! Includes the jammer "The Hustler", plus "Eso Se Baila Asi", "Havana", "Guajiron", "Montero", and "Que Lio".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
