Time to start a new iconic journey! This time, we dive into the story of Willie Colón, a towering figure in Latin music. From his humble beginnings in the South Bronx, where his abuela nurtured his love for music, to earning the nickname El Malo, Colón's journey was just beginning. Join us as we explore his rise to fame, his pivotal signing with Fania Records, and the lucky day he met La Voz, which helped him shape the future of Latin music.
