This is from an era when salsa was cool. The true queen of the genre, Celia Cruz, is paired up on this release with her equal, the recently departed Willie Colón, duetting in the first of two albums they worked together on. From the release’s Bandcamp site:
“1981’s Celia y Willie marked the second of three timeless collab albums between the “Queen of Salsa” and “El Malo del Bronx,” now returning to vinyl in honor of Celia Cruz’s Centennial. Latin music lovers will enjoy favorites like the socially conscious “Latinos en Estados Unidos,” the salsafied cover of the iconic Mexican song “Cucurucucú Paloma,” the electric “Dos Jueyes” and the irresistible “Come Down to Miami.””
