Colon
Producer / Musican / Social Activist / Writer
William Colón is a New York-born Puerto Rican salsa musician and social activist. He began his career as a trombonist, and also sings, writes, produces
and acts. He is also involved in the politics of New York City and international politics.
Beyond the trombone, he has also worked as a composer, arranger, and
singer, and eventually as a producer and director. Combining elements of
jazz, rock, and salsa, his work incorporates the rhythms of traditional music
from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and “that ‘other’ ancestral homeland, Africa”, representing the mostly one-way flow from Puerto Rico to the New
York-based diaspora.
His collaboration with Ruben Blades, “Siembra”, is the biggest selling album of all time for this genre. His collaboration with Hector LaVoe was the
milestone that spread this fusion of tropical/urban music throughout Latin
America. He is a strong catalog sale artist, whose songs are included in almost every Salsa artist’s repertoire.
