Willie Colon is an American salsa musician, trombonist, band leader, singer, writer and producer. He was born on April 28th, 1950 in the South Bronx, New York to Puerto Rican parents.
With a diverse range of talents and a career spanning several decades, *Willie Colon* has made significant contributions to the world of Latin music. Known for his charismatic stage presence and innovative approach to salsa music, he has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the genre.
As a trombonist and band leader, *Willie Colon* has crafted a unique sound that blends traditional Afro-Caribbean rhythms with elements of jazz and rock. His powerful vocals and insightful lyrics have resonated with audiences worldwide. With numerous hit songs and successful albums under his belt, he continues to captivate listeners with his infectious energy and musical prowess.

In this 8th recording, Willie Colón continues to bank on his “gangster” image, this time showcasing an illustration on the cover where the young bandleader from the Bronx is on trial. Colón stretches his wings by mixing genres of Brazilian samba into son-montuno, Afro-Cuban religious rhythms and Puerto Rican bomba and danza – all showcasing lead singer Hector LaVoe’s vocals. Colón’s mature musical vision outpaces his young years and developing skills.
