Another couple o’daze by the time writing those lines and the whole Miami Beach area will be taken by storm by a whole bunch of grooves of all sorts. As an appetizer, we bring back to your attention this 1986 aptly named jam which would see Bronx born of a Puerto-Rican family William Anthony Román better known as Willie Colón makin’ a brief foray on the dance music circuit. No need to be a reputed observer though to realize how, at first listen, the man had definitely a strong background after collaborating on no less than 14 albums with the late Hector Lavoe (Louie Vega’s uncle!!!). Quite a transcient appearence, but a full maestria as displayed on this awesome blend made of insane rhythmic arrangements over a typical percussive piano line and a vibrant trombone solo serving as the ideal environment for our man’s interpretation with co-production work courtesy of Yvonne Turner.
