Asalto Navideño, Vol. II

Willie Colon

This 1973 release features the prominent use of the cuatro, a central instrument that creates a rapid and lively spirit across the songs. It provides an authentic experience rooted in the cultural history of Puerto Rico.

Produced during the height of Fania records, the work displays the essence of the Nuyorican salsa period. Listeners encounter the atmosphere of these recording dates, mixing regional beats with a jagged city influence that highlights the musical identity of the seventies.
