July 13, 2010 - Pablo Lebron, for years the voice of Los Hermanos Lebron (The Lebron Brothers) salsa band, passed away today in Brooklyn, NY. *
The Lebron Brothers consisted of Jose, Angel, Carlos, Frankie, and Pablo -- this last one ailed two decades ago by a heart disease that kept him away from performing.
The news of this terrible loss for the world of salsa music is of particular interest to the salsa community of Los Angeles as the four performing Lebron Brothers are scheduled to participate in El Festival Colombiano to be held in Pico Rivera just five days from today, on Sunday. Andy Rosillo, one of the festival's organizers, stated that the foursome will be traveling to Los Angeles from Colombia this weekend to perform at the festival despite the terrible news. "There is an outstanding amount of interest, questions, and sadness for a great life that has been lost," said Rosillo, and added that a Mass has been scheduled at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the festival's location to commemorate the life of Pablo, who is tonight mourned all over the world.
* The article originally said Pablo passed away in Colombia. He actually was in Brooklyn, NY.
