"From the opening bars of the opening song, 'Che Che Cole,' you will understand that Cosa Nuestra (Our Thing) really means great Latin music with swinging rhythms, and even a little of the unexpected.... In this age of psyche-delicatessens of acid sound, Willie has managed to retain the soul so necessary for good Latin music, and understandably he built a following of fans throughout the world. The distinctive Colon mixture of melodic trombones blended with a hot and swinging rhythm section.. the quiet and sensitive yet explosive singing of Hector Lavoe.." Originally released in 1972.

"Joe Bataan's 1968 album Riot! blends Latin rhythms, '60s soul, and jazz into instrumental funk and mellow ballads. A deep and heavy-hitting record that sees Bataan working in top form with a large and talented band."

Repro of Joe Bataan's 1971 LP for Fania. "Tracks like 'Muneca' and 'Mambo de Bataan' fall within the canon but their energy (check the former's rat-a-tat-tat bridge) and blowsy trombones add an extra kick, just as the ragged loose ends in the vocals don't detract from the locked-down-in-clave-city pocket of 'Aguanta La Lengua.' 'Magic Rose' has a brassy trombone solo over a strong piano hook that's off-kilter from the Latin norm, but totally killer at hip level, while 'Chili Beans' is just a fine example of a lean, clean Latin soul instrumental.... a lot of strong performances that illuminate the late-'60s Latin soul era." --All Music
