If one wanted the history of salsa in one name, it would be that of Colon, the trombonist and bandleader whose music unified the Latin American diaspora in the Seventies.
-The Observer
Over the course of his career, he has collaborated with Fania All Stars, Rubén Blades, David Byrne, and Celia Cruz. Siembra, his record with Rubén Blades, was the best selling album for its genre. In fact, Colón still holds the all time record for Latin music sales, He has created 40 productions that have sold more than thirty million records worldwide.
His achievements in all his activities are widely recognized.
As musician, composer, arranger, singer, and trombonist, as well as producer and director. Now, after many years of community and political activity Willie Colón is retiring from live performance to pursue these interests. For one last night he reminds London of his brilliance.
