Willie Villegas Y Entre Amigos pride themselves on playing classic salsa,
the sound of salsa from its heyday in the 1970s.
Keeping alive this classic salsa sound of the 1970s, Brooklyn born
timbalero Willie was inspired by such Latin music giants as Eddie Palmieri,
Cachao, and Hector Lavoe.
Over the past 15+ years he has performed with some of the best on the
salsa scene: Eddie Palmieri, Frankie Ruiz, Joe Cuba, Lalo Rodriguez, Paquito Guzman
etc.
Band member conguero Willie "Timba" Rodriguez was also a member
of the legendary Brooklyn
Sounds in the 1970s.
In a recent interview Willie states: "... it came to a point where bands weren't performing like they used to…the music continued to
change, but then eventually, people started asking for the old classic Salsa again. So, I decided to put my own band
together... people are going to want to hear that old classic danceable Salsa dura."
"I believe that music belongs to no one…so anyone can interpret it as they see fit. You can incorporate certain rhythms or aspects of the rhythms, such as Timba, into the genre of Salsa. But personally, I maintain the rule, and the rule is classic music, simple technology, nothing abrasive or protrusive…I mean, we just play what we love."
Willie also hosts a public access TV show in Brooklyn showcasing clips of
the salsa legends that inspired him. The show also teaches the history and
roots of Latin music.
