Strikes Back was released in 1987 on Fania Records and the album was so well received that it earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Tropical Latin Performance. This album is considered one of Héctor’s most honest and poignant since El Cantante, with songs like the biographic song written by Tommy Sánchez titled “Loco” and “Ponce” dedicated to his native city in Puerto Rico. While at the time, romantic salsa by artists like Eddie Santiago were all the rage, Héctor remained true to the rhythmic and narrative styles of earlier salsa. There is a sadness and melancholy on this album, as Héctor had been through much tragedy in life and it was reflected in the recording and in songs like the Amanda Miguel cover “Ella Mintio,” “Escarcha,” and the Tite Curet Alonso composition “Plato de Segunda Mesa”. Lavoe surrendered his soul on this recording.

*About Fania Records*
Fania’s master recording catalog is the definitive home for genres such as Latin big band, Afro-Cuban jazz, boogaloo, salsa and Latin R&B and includes artistic giants such as Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe and Rubén Blades. With the creation of the international supergroup known as the Fania All-Stars, the label’s signature musical style became known as the “Fania Sound.” Fania’s rich master catalog also includes the Pete Rodriguez’s boogaloo classic “I Like It Like That,” currently sampled by Cardi B in her #1 hit “I Like It.” Additionally, three Fania recordings, Celia & Johnny by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco, Azucar Pa’ Ti by Eddie Palmieri and Live at Yankee Stadium by the Fania All-Stars, appear in the National Recording Registry, a list of sound recordings that “are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.”
