Willie Colón - Gitana

Review by Mike Fernandez

The album Gitana by Willie Colón is a tribute to the rich heritage of Latin music. The album is a mix of traditional and modern sounds, with Colón's signature trombone leading the way. The songs on the album are full of energy and passion, with lyrics that speak of love, heartbreak, and the struggles of everyday life.

The album's title track, "Gitana," is a standout with its driving rhythm and catchy chorus. The song features guest vocalist Rubén Blades, who adds his own unique flavor to the mix. Other standout tracks include "La Murga," a lively salsa number, and "El Gran Varón," a touching ballad about a gay man who faces discrimination and prejudice.

Gitana is a great addition to any Latin music fan's collection. Colón's masterful trombone playing and the album's infectious rhythms are sure to get listeners dancing and singing along. The album is a testament to the enduring power of Latin music and the talent of one of its greatest artists.
