"La Noche" (translation "the night") is a salsa song written and performed by the Colombian singer Joe Arroyo. [1] Billboard called it a "groundbreaking song" that made Arroyo "a groundbreaking force in Colombian salsa." [2]
It was selected by Hip Latina in 2017 as one of the "13 Old School Songs Every Colombian Grew Up Listening To"; the publication wrote that the song was "most likely part of any Colombian's perpetual playlist." [3] Viva Music Colombia rated the song No. 50 on its list of the 100 most important Colombian songs of all time. [4] Arroyo's original version peaked at number eight in Panama. [5]
The song was covered in merengue by Puerto Rican singer Elvis Crespo on his third studio Wow! Flash (2000). [6] Crespo's version peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and number 8 on the Tropical Airplay chart in the United States. [7] [8] Crespo's version was awarded on the tropical/salsa field at the 2002 ASCAP Latin Awards. [9]
