My Take
Joe Arroyo is one of those artists I respect not just for the dancing but for the weight he carried in his voice. A son of Cartagena, he turned Caribbean salsa into something that could move your feet and stir your conscience in the same breath. La Rebelion earning a spot among the greatest salsa songs ever feels entirely right to me, because he sang history and pain, not just rhythm. That he died in 2011 and received a Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award that same year reads almost like a nation saying thank you. I'd have loved to hear that voice under a Caribbean night sky.
