Asalto Navideño, which literally translates to “Christmas Assault” is named for the Puerto Rican Christmas tradition (also known as a parranda). Led by the inimitable duo of Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe, with the addition of cuatro master Yomo Toro, this beloved salsa title includes such festive favorites as “La Banda,” “Doña Santos,” and “Cantemos.” Featuring (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, this reissue celebrates the album’s 50th anniversary.
