This past week I’ve spent countless of hours remembering the legacy that Willie Colón left behind. I’ll always think of him as one of the main reasons why I love salsa, and this is one of the ways I can honor his art. Gracias, Willie #vinyl #salsa #williecolon #fania

We have lost another giant in the music world! Willie Colon has passed away. He was an extraordinary producer, songwriter, trombone, leader, activist. His catalogue of songs he has written and the impact on Latin and jazz music will never be forgotten. Maestro, rest in peace. We will miss you and we thank you for all that you have given to the people. You left your footprint in the sand. We will continue to share your music. Praying for the entire family. God bless u 🙏🏽💔🕊️ @realwilliecolon #williecolon #fania #faniaallstars

Quítate tú No es solo una canción; es el himno fundacional de la salsa moderna. Interpretada por la Fania All-Stars, esta pieza representa el momento exacto en que el género se consolidó como un fenómeno cultural global. La canción es una "descarga" o sesión de improvisación masiva donde los vocalistas principales de la orquesta se turnan para demostrar su habilidad en el soneo (improvisación lírica). El coro central, "Quítate tú pa' ponerme yo", funciona como un desafío amistoso y un vehículo para que cada estrella brille individualmente antes de reintegrarse al colectivo. Compositores: Johnny Pacheco y Bobby Valentín. Intérpretes destacados: Héctor Lavoe, Ismael Miranda, Cheo Feliciano, Adalberto Santiago, Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez y Santos Colón. Estructura: Comienza con una introducción instrumental potente seguida por una secuencia de versos improvisados que duran más de 12 minutos en su versión más famosa. Historia completa: El nacimiento en "El Cheetah" La historia de este tema está ligada intrínsecamente al 26 de agosto de 1971 en el club El Cheetah de Nueva York. El Contexto: Jerry Masucci y Johnny Pacheco, fundadores de Fania Records, buscaban promocionar a sus artistas principales reuniéndolos en una súper-orquesta. La Grabación Histórica: Esa noche, la Fania All-Stars ofreció un concierto que fue filmado para el documental "Our Latin Thing" (Nuestra Cosa Latina). "Quítate tú" fue el clímax de la presentación. La Dinámica del Duelo: Durante la canción, Pacheco (como director) orquestó un duelo de improvisación. Cada cantante debía lanzar versos alusivos a sus compañeros o a su propia trayectoria, manteniendo el ritmo y la rima bajo presión. Impacto Cultural: El éxito de esta grabación en vivo transformó a la Fania All-Stars en un símbolo de identidad para la comunidad latina en Nueva York (Nuyoricans) y el Caribe, lanzando la "época dorada" de la salsa en los años 70. #fania #héctorlavoe #celiacruz #ismaelmiranda #jhonnypacheco

Jeffania Cherry (also known as Fania) is a cast member on the seventh and eighth seasons of Baddies, titled Baddies Africa and Baddies USA respectively. She originated from Jersey City, New Jersey. She originally appeared as a contestant on Baddies Africa Auditions. While on Baddies Africa, she would become part of a new trio consisting of her, Kold Killa, and Kay Rixan, while facing off against Summer, Big Lex, and Badd Dolly’s trio. At the same time, she would fight with Tavii a few times, before befriending her later on. At the reunion, she would face off against Big Lex once again. During Chapter One of Baddies USA, she would get into multiple fights with NuNu in defense of Kay Rixan and Kold Killa. She would later fall out with Tavii, leading to multiple altercations during the reunion. At the same time, she also fights Diamond due to their pre-reunion internet feud. #fania #djari #baddiesusareunion #baddiesusa #baddies

Up on @titecuretalonso? Here’s my three favorite 7”s by the legendary Afro Boricua composer to celebrate his 100th birthday today! With 2,000 songs in his catalog, hard to narrow down but let me know which of his were your favorites in the comments. Alonso repped Black consciousness in Latin music recorded in Puerto Rico and NYC like none other. Big up @asacuret for keeping his legacy moving forward.

New York gave salsa legend Willie Colon a powerful farewell outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Trombones played and the crowd honored his legacy to the rhythm of La Murga, one of the anthems that shaped salsa history 🔥 #salsa #newyork #williecolon #fania #rip
