Tropical star Gilberto Santa Rosa to perform at The Conga Room

by EAStaff | January 9, 2012

Billboard Magazines’ Tropical Artist of the Decade, Certified RIAA multi-Platinum recording artist and GRAMMY®-award winning Gilberto Santa Rosa is set to perform at the hub of Latin music The Conga Room on Thursday February 2, 2012.

Affectionately known as ‘El Caballero de La Salsa’ (Salsa Gentleman) Gilberto Santa Rosa will take center stage offering a one of a kind concert performance featuring songs from his most recent hit album  "Irrepetible" (Unrepeatable) as well as anthemic crowd favorites.

The industry's appreciation of his incredible talent continues as evidenced by several awards and accolades.  Gilberto Santa Rosa won Latin GRAMMY® awards in 2006 and 2009, and in 2007, he won a GRAMMY® award for best tropical production.  Also in 2009, he received five nominations for Premio lo Nuestro, making him the most nominated artist that year.

As a boy, Puerto Rican recording artist Gilberto Santa Rosa was strongly influenced by 1960s salsa music, which awakened his lifelong passion for music.  He recorded his first album at 14, and has since gone on to have more than 20 albums and 14 number one hits on Billboard's Latin Tropical Airplay charts.

In the mid-1980s, his career flourished and a radio announcer nicknamed him "El Caballero de la Salsa" (Gentleman of Salsa).  In the 1990s, he joined the Sony label and earned 13 gold albums, 13 platinum albums, and three multi-platinum distinctions.

With an international fan base that stretches from Spain to Chile, to Los Angeles Gilberto Santa Rosa’s success is ‘Irrepetible" (Unrepeatable) aptly named—his remarkable career is certainly hard to replicate.
