RIP al maestro del trombón y la trompeta, arquitecto de la época de la Fania All-Stars, mastermind de sus excelsos dúos con Héctor Lavoe, Rubén Blades, propulsor de la música navideña boricua y de las raíces africanas en la música afro-antillana. El Malo, Willie Colón🇵🇷🎺🪘🪇! #williecolon #salsa #fania

A nostalgic photo of Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe. A tribute to Willie’s passing, honoring 'the architect' of the New York Salsa sound and his reunion with Héctor. A pillar of Latino culture and the Fania All-Stars.

They’re back together. 🎺✨

Today we lost the architect, but the legend of Willie and Héctor is now eternal. The greatest duo in #Fania history is reunited in the celestial orchestra.

Rest in power, Willie Colón.

Thank you for the rhythm and the soul. 🕊️

R.I.P. El Malo… one of my favorites. The world of music won’t be the same.

Album cover - a young Latino (Pacheco) is in Riverside park in New York, standing next to an old Civil War cannon on display there. He's playing timbales, and wearing a white shirt, brown pants, a bright yellow cardigan, and white sneakers and socks -- pretty hip for 1964. It's winter, because the trees in the background have no leaves. The lettering is in orange, red, yellow and black.

#latinsky #salsasky #fania #vinyl Johnny "El Gran" Pacheco, Mi Nuevo Tumbao.....Cañonazo, Fania, 1964 [2024 Craft reissue]. The first album on Fania. Singer is Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez. I believe in this instance the word "tumbao" translates as "style", both musical and clothes.

Prepped an album, before sitting down to ink and coffee. Willy Colon & Co. eye me from across the room, all of us awaiting an appropriate hour to drop the needle… Pre-dawn, shared walls… “Music, whatever-whenever” seems a compelling argument for a mortgage.
