Periodico de Ayer - Héctor Lavoe

"De Ti Depende (It's Up to You) is the second solo album by Héctor Lavoe, released in 1976 under Fania Records. Its lead single, "Periodico de Ayer", is known as one of the most popular salsa songs ever." - wikipedia
This lively salsa has a particularly ponderous brass and string section. Some say it is reflective of the melancholy of the "faded love" illustrated in the song.
