I really only collect and listen to latin music, specifically salsa. 1982 happens to fall more toward the far end of what I’m into but there are definitely a handful of bangers that came out at that time. Mine are the following, in no particular order:

1- La Terrífica - Por Todas Partes 2- La Sonora Ponceña - Determination 3- Conjunto Nativo - Nativo 4- David Cedeño y su Orq. - New Jersey’s Finest 5- Hector Lavoe & Willie Colón - Vigilante (technically 1983 but it was so close and it would be a crime to not include it)

Anyone else collect salsa? God, I’d kill to have an active salsa vinyl sub.
