Description
Cheeky disco intro on Plástico snaps into salsa dura as Colón’s trombones bite and Blades cuts through the gloss. Siembra is Willie Colon & Ruben Blades at 1978 Fania peak, a streetwise, richly arranged suite of stories. Pedro Navaja still chills, with siren whoops and coro replies circling the tale like headlights on a wet curb. Swap moods with Buscando Guayaba, where the groove lopes and the piano montuno and percussion glow under those honeyed vocals. This LP pressing opens the stage a touch; low end sits deeper and horns image more clearly. File it beside Héctor Lavoe’s late 70s sides, same era grit with Blades’ literate twist. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Willie Colon & Ruben Blades records online with us. In a Preston lounge or a crowded kitchen, these arrangements make small rooms feel like the barrio social club. Standouts beyond the obvious include Ojos, the coro harmonies snapping tight around slick piano, and Dime, where the percussion section barely sits still. Title cut Siembra blooms into a call-and-response coda that feels like a street parade turning a corner.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
