This blog post reflects on the life and legacy of salsa pioneer Willie Colón following his death in February 2026. It highlights copyright deposits from the album "El Juicio" held by the Library of Congress. Through songs such as “Timbalero” and “Aguanilé,” it explores how Colón and Héctor Lavoe helped shape the sound of New York salsa by blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms with urban storytelling and musical innovation.
