Reventó (It Burst) is the eighth solo album by salsa singer Héctor Lavoe. It was released on 1985 under the label of Fania Records. It was produced by Jerry Masucci and Puchi Lavoe.

Reception

Reventó has been called "a solid album in the classic New York salsa style".[1] According to Lavoe's biographer Marc Shapiro, the album was critically acclaimed upon release, although "it was not hailed as a landmark or breakthrough Héctor Lavoe album"; he goes on to say that it further established Lavoe as a talented, legitimate singer.[2]

Revento entered the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart (New York) on 15 June 1985 at position 12; it stayed in the charts until November that year.[3][4]
