Trombonist, singer/songwriter and producer Willie Colón was one such artist, and his 1968 LP The Hustler still breathes with unpredictability, raw arrangements and the kind of visceral approach to Afro-Cuban beats that would come to define the essence of ’70s salsa. In retrospect, The Hustler sounds remarkably self-assured for a sophomore effort, particularly thanks to the timeless vocalizing of Héctor Lavoe, the closest to a rock star that salsa has ever known. On tracks such as “Que Lío” and “Eso Se Baila Así,” Lavoe’s soulful singing brims with humor and personality, while the piano licks by the late Markolino Dimond are, just by themselves, worth the price of admission. #TheHustler #WillieColón
