RIP Willie
The New York City trombonist and bandleader was a key part of Latin music's evolution during the 1970s. He was born in the Bronx in 1950 but had direct ties to Puerto Rico, thanks to grandparents who still lived on the island. As a young teenager Colón was soaking up popular music of the 1960s: R&B, rock, jazz … and Puerto Rican folk music, which he heard while visiting his extended family during the summer.
