Willie Colón basically created, WITH RUBÉN BLADES, most of the soundtrack of my childhood.
he also became the perfect example of the little fascists hiding in plain sight: there was a time he was part of my parents’ social circles because i had an uncle who was a pioneering salsa singer. so it was a shock to find out, as an adult, he was a guanabí GOP bootlicker.
