Synopsis

Product Description
Like most of the collaborations between trombonist, composer and musical director Willie Colón and mercurial Puerto Rican singer Héctor Lavoé, this album transcends the boundaries of salsa. Released in 1970, 'La Gran Fuga' is a masterpiece of Latin music, the kind
of formidable artistic statement that established the Fania label as a cultural icon-- going beyond the parameters of a company specializing in crowd pleasing dance music. This is a great party album, filled with dance friendly classics such as 'Barrunto' and 'Abuelita'. At the same time, it crystallizes the Colón/Lavoé aesthetic that the duo had been developing on previous albums ('La Gran Fuga' is Colón's sixth release on the Fania label.)
