Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Johnny Pacheco y Su Charanga - The 'Brillante' Best (1978)

The 'Brilliant' Best is a compilation album by legendary Cuban singer Celia Cruz, released in 1978 on Vaya Records.
The album features Cruz's finest collaborations with two of the era's preeminent orchestras: Johnny Pacheco y Su Charanga and the Willie Colón Orchestra.
The collection showcases the "golden era" of salsa and highlights Celia Cruz's unique vocals, arranged by Johnny Pacheco (representing the more traditional charanga and son sound) and Willie Colón (representing the more modern, experimental New York salsa style). Hits like "Quimbara" and "Toro Mata," included on this release, are recognized as among the most important recordings in the history of Latin American music.
