A Celia Cruz/Willie Colon collaboration is to salseros what a Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell duet is to soul lovers or an Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong project is to jazz enthusiasts; in other words, you're bringing together two of the best artists that the genre has to offer. When Cruz and Colon get together, the sparks usually fly -- and Celia y Willie is no exception. Considering how much this LP had going for it, one would have been surprised if things hadn't gone well. Celia y Willie is an album that boasts Cruz on lead vocals, Colon producing, salsa impresario Jerri Masucci serving as executive producer, and talent like Luis "Perico" Ortiz and Louie Ramirez helping with the arrangements, not to mention Cruz having access to excellent material. Add those things up, and it would have been surprising if Cruz hadn't soared on exuberant gems like "Kirimbambara," "Latinos en Estados Unidos," and the hit "Don Jueyes." Equally strong is "Come Down to Miami," which has an English title but offers mostly Spanish lyrics. Praising Miami, the song playfully urges New York's Latinos to say good-bye to the Big Apple's chilly winters and make Miami their permanent home. And even if you're quite happy living in New York and don't care for Miami's year-round heat, "Come Down to Miami" is still fun and infectious. A fine example of the chemistry that Cruz and Colon enjoy, Willie y Celia is happily recommended to salseros. ~ Alex Henderson Producer: Willie Colon   Compilation Appearances Sus Mas Grandes Exitos Mambo Kings Vol. 3-Musica Tradicional Cuba Salsa No. 1 Un Ano De Exitos Exitos De Siemprevol. 1 Con Azuquitar, Chico Vol Vi Azuuucar En El Cielo Vol Vii Hecho En Cuba 3 30 Bailables Pegaditos Celia Cruz: grandes Leyendas Vol Vii Amor De Los Dos Party 931 Anthems Vol 2 Hall Of Fame: historia Musical Hecho En Cuba Series 3 Pack Rough Guide To Boogaloo Romantic Voices Of Cuba Latin Garden: World Of Latin Grooves / Variou Island Life Cubanisimo (w/ Bonus DVD) Latin Jazz Rough Guide To Tito Puente Alma Corazon Y Vida Mis Duetos(w/ Bonus DVD) Beginner's Guide To Latin Music Me And My Friends Los 100 Mejores Boleros De La Hi Vol Hecho En Cuba 3 Greatest Salsa Ever Vol 2 Mastercuts: Nu Yorican Soul Cuba Libre:un Nuevo D?a Greatest Salsa Ever Vol 3 Las No 1 De La Navidad Las No 1 De La Salsa Vol 2 Tesoros De Coleccion Cubanas Poderosas En 3 Cds Rough Guide To Cuban Street Party Latin Nights Night In Cuba Las Damas Del Ritmos Las No 1 De La Salsa Vol 3 Havana Jam Album De Cuba Latin Music Usa La Trulla Del Pam Pam Pam   Associated Artists and Works Albita Artists, Various Celia & Johnny Celia & Johnny Celia & Johnny Celia Cruz & La Sonora Matancer Homenaje A Celia ~ Emerson Ensemble Homenaje a Celia ~ Emerson Ensemble Guillot, Olga Guillot, Olga La Sonora Matancera Pacheco, Johnny Pacheco, Johnny Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Tito Sonora Matancera Various Artists Various Artists Various Artists Various Artists Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 03/13/2007 Original Release Date : 1981 Catalog ID : 7731302162 Label : Fania (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 46m : 41s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00877313002164    Product Image
