Willie Colon/Ruben Blades - Metiendo Mano! (180 Gram) (LP)

Released in 1977, Metiendo Mano! marks the historic first full collaborative album between trombonist and producer Willie Colón and singer-songwriter Rubén Blades — a partnership that would forever alter the course of salsa music. This landmark record catapulted Blades to fame by weaving powerful social narratives about the struggles of urban Latinos into infectious rhythms, setting a new standard for what the genre could say and mean.

The album's standout tracks — including Tite Curet Alonso's "Plantación Adentro," Blades' own "Pablo Pueblo," and Félix Hernandez's "Según el Color" — remain some of the most celebrated songs in the Fania catalog. This reissue from Craft Recordings features AAA lacquers cut directly from the original master tapes, delivering the warm, authentic sound that made Metiendo Mano! a cornerstone of Latin music history.
