Carlos Enrique Colón (born 2 September 1958) is a Puerto Rican Salsa singer[1] who is a native of San Juan., who is an albino, is nicknamed -and billed- as El ( The Light- Colored Haired One ), a word which is commonly used in Puerto Rico to refer to people of light complexion. He is arguably the most famous albino in the Caribbean country, and as such, has raised public awareness of the condition s traits and limitations (such as limited vision, which openly acknowledges, even in the occasional song). developed his talent as a singer while residing in Residencial Las Casas,[citation needed] a public housing complex in the area of Santurce, not far from Trastalleres, where Daniel Santos, Andy Montañez and Ossie Ocasio were raised. As Héctor Lavoe did before him, acknowledges Puerto Rican jíbaro country singers as a strong influence. He developed a reputation for being a fast and clever improviser, in the same vein as Marvin Santiago, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Oscar D León and other salsa singers who could improvise dozens of soneos (improvisations within a call response format) on the spot. Later in his life would use the title Dueño del soneo ( Owner of the Soneo ) as a marketing concept, emphasizing his
prowess as an on-the-spot improviser. In 1978, joined Bobby Valentín, among other replacements to Vaentín s band -namely Santiago and former Sonora Ponceña singer Luiggi Texidor. recorded six albums before stating his own band in 1984. He was the lead singer on many of the best selling hits by Valentín s band, particularly the band s best seller ever, La boda de ella ( Her Wedding ), written by Roberto Angleró. began touring all over Latin America by 1989.[citation needed] He enjoyed wild success in Puerto Rico as well as in Brazil and Peru, among other places. His best known hit as a solo artist is El Toro ( The Bull ), a humorous take on infidelity (and, in one line, about his low vision). has participated in soneo battles with other salsa singers, most famously with Domingo Quiñones. He has also faced two incidents where he has been blacklisted from venues in Puerto Rico for using profanity onstage. As a result, he often polls audiences before addressing specific subjects onstage. A 2003 CD release celebrated his twenty years in the music industry.
