Celia Cruz’s lasting presence will be felt over the summer… 40th anniversary reissue of the Fania classic from Celia Cruz and Willie Colón featuring hits “Dos Jueyes” and “Yo Lo Puedes Decir.” All analog mastering from the original tapes.

One of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century, Cuban-born singer Celia Cruz recorded nearly 40 studio albums over her long and illustrious career. In the ’70s, Cruz signed to the legendary salsa imprint Fania Records, where she would release some of her most successful titles and perform alongside many of her iconic labelmates. One such peer was horn player, singer, composer and producer Willie Colón: a hugely influential figure in Latin music and one of Fania’s most prolific talents—both in front of the microphone and behind the scenes.

1981’s Celia Y Willie marked the second of three albums by Cruz and Colón. The dynamic—and highly successful—partnership between the “Queen of Salsa” and “El Malo del Bronx” began with 1977’s Only They Could Have Made This Album, featuring Cruz on lead vocals, with Colón at the helm as producer, as well as on bass trumpet. The duo followed suit four years later with Celia Y Willie and, finally, with 1987’s Winners.
