Álvaro José Arroyo González, also known as Joe Arroyo or El Joe, was one of Colombia´s most famous Salsa singers. He was born in Cartagena (one of the most beautiful cities in all of Colombia), and unfortunately died recently on July 26 2011.
Joe Arroyo was hugely successful mainly due to his ability to mix salsa, soca, kompa, zouk and other kinds of music from the African Diaspora in a unique style that earned him the prefix of Chonero de la Salsa by critics and fans.
The song below "La Rebelion" (my favourite salsa song of all time), is one of his most famous. During his musical career he recorded an astounding 43 albums! Check out the song below and get a taste for Colomabian salsa!
