SalsaPalooza with Gilberto Santa Rosa and Grupo Niche

For nearly three decades, Grammy-winning, platinum-selling world music superstar Gilberto Santa Rosa – widely known as “El Caballero de Salsa" (The Gentleman of Salsa) – has been nationally and internationally recognized as one of the most prominent salsa performers of the last few decades, an artist who has left his mark on both tropical music and romantic pop. Recently voted Billboard magazine’s "Tropical Artist of the Decade,” Santa Rosa’s polished, often innovation style and lyrical improvisation shine in every format he takes on – from pure salsa and mambo to bolero and contemporary ballads. This sizzling salsa celebration also welcomes Grupo Niche, the famous Colombian unit that has long been one of the world’s leading salsa bands, known for both vigorous, up-tempo dance music as well as a slower-paced, irresistibly romantic sound. One of the most requested salsa orchestras in the world, Grupo Niche celebrates 30 years of #1 hits on this special SalsaPalooza tour. The ensemble has recorded over 40 albums in its incredible 30-year career, all certified Platinum & Gold in sales.
