Discover the story of the song > El Gran Varón – Willie Colón

The song is about a boy named Simon who was born in the 1950s and raised strictly by his father to be a "great man." However, when Simon went abroad, he started to dress and act like a woman. His father was shocked and didn't understand his son's choice. Simon eventually died from an unknown illness in 1986. The song reflects on the idea that you can't change who someone is, and it's important to have compassion and not judge others.
