Signed to Fania Records as a teenager, Colón brought a raw, streetwise brass presence that distinguished him from the dominant trumpet-led orchestras of the era and helped define the emerging New York salsa movement.\n***\n“El Malo”, tema central del álbum debut de Willie Colón en 1967, presentó a un trombonista de apenas 17 años que transformaría el sonido de la salsa. Firmado por Fania siendo adolescente, Colón impuso una sonoridad cruda y urbana desde el trombón, diferenciándose de las orquestas dominadas por trompetas y marcando el rumbo del movimiento salsero neuyorquino.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
