1 Aug 2008On Thursday night I packed the familia up and headed to the hipster free Lower East Side, because yes there are hipster free zones in LES, and listened and danced to the classic salsa sounds of Willie Colon. Willie Colon gave a free concert to a mostly local crowd in East River Park.

I arrived early to make sure I got a good spot.

It got packed early with a mix of mostly LES locals of all ages.

It was a long wait but well worth it after Willie went on stage.
Willie Colon sang many of his well known classics as well as a new tune. But it was his tribute to Hector Lavoe that got the overwhelmingly Boricua crowd going.

31 Jul 2008We love summer in the city. Un verano en Nueva York means lots of free, outdoor concerts and tonight’s concert sponsored by the City Parks Foundation is not to be missed because it features Willie Colon!
While his politics may be dubious, this musical legend is amazing so pack a blanket, some food, y la familia. Hopefully we’ll see you there!
