WILLIE COLON - El Baquine De Angelitos Negros (JM 00506)
12" LP. Original Fania Records release from 1977, gatefold LP.

salsa music to the world of concept albums. This original soundtrack to a movie
ably demonstrates Colon's musical ability and inventiveness. Features Victor
Paz on trumpet, Alfredo De La Fe on solo violin, Lewis Kahn on trombone and a
wealth of other musicians. 12 tracks including: Angustia Maternal, Camino Al
Barrio, Son Guajira Del Encuentro, Angelitos Negros Pt 1, Angelitos Negros Pt
2, Para Los Viejitos, 8th Avenue (In The Park), El Baquine and others. One of
