Corazón Guerrero (Warrior Heart) is the third studio album by Willie Colón, originally released on May 9, 1982.[1] And later released in August 1982, by Fania Records. It is often considered the first Latin pop album due to the mix of harmonic rhythms that Colón used in the recordings with the violins and the saxophones. The song that most highlights this is "Casanova" which contains characteristics of modern Latin pop. On this album, Willie Colón does not skimp on excellent musicians, especially on trombone, percussion and voice.
The result is a neo-solo musical extravaganza that truly captures the musical energy of the innovator of the time. One of the best songs on the album is the ballad "El Hijo Y El Papá."[2]
The album was made in full musical creativity of Colón where his single Corazón Guerrero was fundamental, and Casanova, there is also the ballad "El Hijo Y El Papa" which was dedicated to his son Diego.
