Chicago Salsa Festival featuring Willie Colón, El Gran Combo, Grupo Niche, Jerry Rivera, Tito Nieves, Rey Ruiz, Tony Vega, Los Adolescentes, Oro Solido and 8 y Mas
Willie Colón
- Who he is: a Nuyorican trombonist and Fania All-Stars alum who was a torchbearer of the salsa movement of the '60s and '70s, and a frequent collaborator with salsa legend Héctor Lavoe
- What he's known for: his classic album El Malo; his collaborations with everybody from Celia Cruz to David Byrne; his 11 Grammy nominations and prestigious fellowship from Yale
- What he's known for besides his music: his political activism; he even ran for congress in 1992
El Gran Combo
- El Sondido: An orchestra packed with percussion (congas, shakers, bongos, maracas), horns, group vocals, and excitement-building tempos to deliver a textbook salsa sound. No matter what language you speak, this is pure, joyous dance music.
- El Incinio: when Rafael Ithier persuaded a group of musicians to leave their steady gig with Rafael Cortijo's orchestra, "Cortijo y su Combo," to form El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico
- El Resulto: Over half a century later, El Gran Combo has endured as the most successful group to ever come out of Puerto Rico, and is widely considered to be the most successful salsa group of all time.
Grupo Niche
- When the Colombian salsa group debuted: with the 1980 album Al Pasito
- Since then: they've brought their brand of salsa to Madison Square Garden, Europe, and beyond
- What their songs are about: everything from social issues to romance
