La mia idea…

L’idea di questo Blog è nata dalla mia grande passione per la Salsa, famosissima oggi in gran parte del mondo; essendo un miscuglio, una combinazione di musiche con radici provenienti da paesi diversi, è molto difficile darle un significato.

Personalmente definisco la Salsa una miscela esplosiva di suoni, ritmi e danze, un qualcosa di meraviglioso, di magico, capace di coinvolgerci fino ad entrare spontaneamente nei nostri cuori…

    • Marc Anthony 5 settembre 2010
      If Ricky Martin is the Latin crossover star that wears tight leather and does Pepsi ads, Marc Anthony is the one wearing the black silk and smoking a cigarette. Anthony established himself in the '90s as a contemporary Salsa superstar, and more recently, his English crossover recordings have expanded his overall audience. Universally respected for his c […]
    • Gilberto Santa Rosa 8 luglio 2010
      Gilberto Santa Rosa became a salsero the old-fashioned way: he worked for it. Unlike younger crops of singers who are pretty faces first and singers second, Santa Rosa came on the scene in the 1970s. He climbed up through the ranks, putting in time with unknown orchestras and, when he was lucky, with bigger names like the Puerto Rico All-Stars, Tommy Olivenc […]
    • Celia Cruz 6 settembre 2010
      As Salsa's greatest icon, Cruz garnered all sorts of respect, from a Smithsonian lifetime achievement award to her own street in Miami, to the title "The Queen of Salsa." Her singing is deep and soulful, with expressive improvisations influenced by her Cuban upbringing. You're expected to dance to her music, with its jumping piano chords […]
    • Tito Puente 2 settembre 2010
      Most of the rock generation is familiar with Tito Puente through Santana's cover of "Oye Como Va" and his appearance in The Mambo Kings. By venturing closer to the source, they will discover what Latin jazz fans have known for years: Puente's intoxicating mix of Big Band jazz and Latin music creates Mambo madness at its finest. Tito Puent […]
    • Frankie Ruiz 30 agosto 2010
      Although he was born in New Jersey, it wasn't until Frankie Ruiz moved to Puerto Rico that he was reborn as one of the 20th century's great salsa stars. After stints with Orquesta La Solucion and the Tommy Olivencia orchestra, Ruiz became one of the most sought-after solo salsa singers. He was a champion of salsa romantica, and brought that sensual […]
    • Grupo Niche 27 luglio 2010
      This high-energy band burst onto the scene in the '80s, helping make the town of Cali, Colombia the epicenter of danceable Salsa. Their large brass frontline is energized by a full complement of drums and percussion. Many talented singers started with Niche before launching solo careers. - RLEAVER
    • Victor Manuelle 30 agosto 2010
      Puerto Rican-born upstart Victor Manuelle owes a debt of gratitude to Gilberto Santa Rosa, who took Manuelle under his wing after the talented upstart famously jumped on stage to sing with Santa Rosa at a concert. Santa Rosa was impressed, and Manuelle got a spot in the band. He went on to sing with a clutch of notable bands, including Puerto Rican Power, Do […]
    • Oscar D'Leon 30 agosto 2010
      Oscar D'Leon is one of the true giants in the history of Salsa. He earned the respect of the Latin music world in the 1970s as an orchestra leader while also playing bass and singing up-tempo versions of classic Son in a voice reminiscent of legendary Cuban singer Beny More. His performances in Cuba in the late '70s re-inspired musicians there to p […]

    • Hector Lavoe 30 agosto 2010
      He started out as a skinny 17-year-old from Puerto Rico on the streets of New York, hungry and ready to sing. He ended both a celebrity and a broken man, wasted by a long struggle with drug abuse, personal tragedies and AIDS. Born Hector Juan Perez in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1946, Lavoe pursued singing as a kid, gigging with a 10-piece band by the time he was […]
