Héctor Lavoe's GRAMMY® nominated Strikes Back stands as one of the legendary salsa singer's most honest and emotionally resonant recordings. Released in 1987 on Fania Records and produced by salsa icon Willie Colón, the album showcases Lavoe at his most personal, drawing on his life experiences and the rich musical traditions of Latin music.
Featuring standout tracks like the autobiographical "Loco," the heartfelt Amanda Miguel cover "Ella mintió," the Tito Curet Alonso composition "Escarcha," and "Ponce" — a tribute to Lavoe's hometown — this remastered reissue brings the album back to life with stunning fidelity. (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes ensure an authentic listening experience, with contributions from Latin music legends including Willie Colón, Justo Betancourt, and Tito Allen.
