Héctor Lavoe Vinyl Records
Héctor Lavoe was among the most innovative singers in salsa history. In addition to solo recordings, he was a founding and longtime member of the Fania All-Stars. Gifted with perfect diction, a jazzman's sense of rhythmic syncopation, and an emotive delivery, Lavoe and musical partner Willie Colón emerged as the Latin boogaloo and soul of the late 1960s evolved into the '70s salsa boom.
