Hi Wes,
I highly recommend Louie Romero. I've heard great things from his students.
He's also an old friend to Caly Rivera, who thinks very highly of him
and his playing.
Louie played with the best musicians from salsa's famed Fania record label, including Hector Lavoe and Ruben Blades. When Colón's band broke up in 1977, Louie continued to record with other Fania groups, eventually recording over 20 albums for the label. He then expanded into folkloric music and latin jazz, playing with greats like Paquito D'Rivera.
Louie moved to California in 1984.
