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.
- La Universidad de la Salsa: the honorary title the group received due to the sheer numbers of salsa acts who got their start in the Combo (including "Godfather of Salsa" Andy Montañez) or have been backed by the troupe (including "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz)
- El Aniversario: In 2012, the group celebrated its 50th anniversary with a world tour that spanned five continents, and they still play like they have 100 years left to go.
- El Desempeño: Three singers bellow upbeat songs of romance while strutting the stage in syncopation, an orchestra spanning up to 14 members fills the room with rhythmic swells, and spry bandleader Rafael Ithier refuses to act his age (he's 89).
Victor Manuelle
- Victor Manuelle's musical style of choice: salsa romantica, with strains of jazz, pop, bolero, and more
- His fans call him: El Sonero de la Juventud (The Singer Of Youths)
- What the Singer of Youths sings to the youths: songs from albums such as his self-titled 1996 breakthrough hit, 2001's Instinto Y Deseo, and 2004's Travesía, which lived up to its name ("Crossover") by hitting both the Latin and the overall Billboard charts
- Additional salsa bona fides: Victor had the honor of singing a cappella at the funeral of the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz
- His latest: 2018's 25/7, which includes the singles "Mala y Peligrosa" with Bad Bunny and "Amarte Duro" with Farruko
