The record
A stadium-sized snapshot of the Fania roster at full salsa-dura strength, with Celia Cruz, Hector Lavoe, and Ismael Miranda trading vocal turns over the label's crack all-star band. Big, brassy, and loose in the way only a live house show could be -- proof that by the mid-'70s salsa had filled arenas the way soul and funk did.
