Olm, Early 90s. Used ... $4.99
A very different record than both Aguabella's 70s funk records and his recent Latin jazz sets – a mostly rootsy, highly percussive outing dedicated to the rituals of Santeria! Like other Santeria records, this one mostly features percussion and chanted vocals – cast out over a number ... read more CD

Fania, Mid 70s. Used ... $8.99
A collection of important early work by Ruben Blades – and easily one of the best examples of his tremendous talents in the 70s!

Fania, 1977. Used ... $7.99
Willie Colon declares Ruben Blades as the champ on the cover of this early solo set – and for good reason too, as the album's one of Blades' best! There's a clear, clean simplicity to the record that's totally wonderful – a purity of vision before some of Ruben's later crossover ... read more CD

Willie Colon —
Crime Pays (remastered edition) ... CD Fania, 1972. Used ... $19.99

Fania, 1972. Used ... $14.99

(Out of print.)
Fania, 1973. Used ... $9.99
This is about as strong as you can get from Willie Colon – he's holding a gun to some cat's head on the cover! (And hip hoppers think they invented the gangster image!) More than just a catchy picture, though, the image is really important at a symbolic level – as the guy Willie's ... read more CD
