​​in Colombia. From this group emerged which is arguably the greatest exponent of the salsa of your country, Joe Arroyo, who soon became one of the most important because it represents without doubt the highpoint of fusion of salsa and traditional music in Colombia throughmultiple combinations with the vernacular rhythms.
