Mourners gathered at St. Patrick’s Cathedral to pay tribute to salsa legend Willie Colón, a Bronx-born musician who helped define the sound of urban salsa and left an enduring mark on New York City and beyond.
Colón produced more than 40 albums and sold millions of records worldwide.
A proud New Yorker, his music and legacy continued to resonate deeply with fans and the broader community.
The service marked a final farewell to the artist, remembered by Currents News and The Tablet as a friend whose contributions shaped generations of listeners.
