Possessing one of the most rare and refined melodious voices Antillean songs ever known at any time, Santitos Colon said since the end of the 1950s his place among the best Puerto Rican bolero singers of all time. But, equally, also he excelled in the difficult terrain of Afro-Cuban music, projecting a true master when it comes to vocalize a mambo, rumba or are. Clear: this singer out of this belonged to that lineage - now extinct - of interpreters that were forged as "crooners" in dance bands that had to know by heart all the rhythms, without identifying with any particular.

Santitos Columbus was the son of Francisco Vega and congratulates Columbus. He was barely a month old when her parents left their native Sabana Grande to settle permanently in Mayagüez. In the West called Sultana he spent his childhood and early youth, so it was always identified as Mayagüez.
