Video interview with Gilberto "Pulpo" Colon Jr, filmed at the launch party for his new CD, 'Hot Bread', in NYC.
This esteemed pianist initially received the nickname "Pulpo" from his brother and conguero Eddie Montalvo during a live recording session. Soon after, superstar vocalist Héctor Lavoe made the same reference during a show at the legendary Corso Nightclub for his dynamic ability to move up and down the keyboard telling a story through his solo. From then on, the name stuck and he continues to live up to his melodic and spontaneous reputation on the piano.
