Step into the vibrant world of salsa music with Willie Colón and Rubén Blades' groundbreaking 1977 collaboration, Metiendo Mano. This album didn't just launch Blades into the limelight; it reshaped the genre with its socially charged narratives.

In the kaleidoscope of the 1970s salsa scene, Metiendo Mano stands out as a pivotal moment. Willie Colón, already an established name, teamed up with the then-rising star Rubén Blades, weaving powerful urban stories into the fabric of salsa. The album addresses poignant social issues, marking it as more than just music but a voice for urban Latinos. Tracks like “Plantación Adentro” by Tite Curet Alonso and “Pablo Pueblo,” a masterpiece by Blades himself, offer raw, poetic insights into societal struggles.

Produced by Colón, the album uniquely melds robust brass sections and percussive rhythms, creating the heartbeat of its storytelling. “Según el Color” by Félix Hernandez speaks to the nuanced experiences of urban life, elevated by the album's rich instrumental backdrop. The interplay of these narratives and sounds set new standards for the genre.

Reissued on 180-gram black vinyl, this timeless Craft Recordings edition preserves the authenticity of its original master tapes with pristine (AAA) lacquer cuts. For any Fania collector, Metiendo Mano is more than essential; it's a cultural cornerstone - a testament to the evolution of salsa and its enduring legacy.
