Besides being a legend of Latin music, Johnny Colon founded the successful East Harlem School of Music in which he mentored other well-known musicians for decades. He is now housing his successful method of cognitive development through music theory at Loisaida Inc.
Loisaida Inc. leads the local cultural planning project, in partnership with the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center and Teatro SEA that will ensure that Latino arts organizations, cultural workers, and residents in Lower Manhattan are heard and their recommendations included in the City's 10 year cultural plan. Loisaida Inc. was chosen from a competitive pool of applicants as one of the winning proposals to conduct community engagement and feed-back activities around the City's cultural planning process, which will wrap up in the late spring of 2017.
