Lo Mato

📖 About this album

One of the most influential salsa albums ever made.

📝 Our review

Lo Mato (Si No Compra Este LP) is one of Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe's most irreverent classics. With that provocative title—an advertising threat-demand—the album delivers high-pressure New York salsa: hard trombones, guajira piano, unstoppable percussion. Lavoe was at an extraordinary vocal moment. Tracks like "El Todopoderoso" and "Vamos a Reír un Poco" have the party and neighborhood energy that made the Fania label great.
