In this episode of Becoming an Icon, we dive into one of Latin music’s most legendary partnerships: it’s time for the Bad Boys. We’ll explore the unforgettable music shared between Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe, only to confront the heartbreaking effects of their separation. But the fallout didn’t stop Colón’s rise—collaborations with Celia Cruz and Rubén Blades were just around the corner.

Lilliana Vazquez and Joseph Carrillo are the hosts of Becoming An Icon with production support by Nick Milanes, Santiago Sierra, Rodrigo Crespo, Evelyn Uribe and Edgar Esteban of Sonoro Media in partnership with iHeart Radio's My Cultura Podcast network.
