From local talent shows to major hits like 'Si Tú Me Besas,' his voice has anchored salsa for decades.
For a quick sense of his range, try 'Asi fue' for the classic salsa swing, then 'Como Duele' for the ballad side. Both show why he's lasted.
When 'Si Tú Me Besas' broke in 1996, it gave salsa a new romantic voice that felt both classic and immediate. Songs like 'Amarte' and 'Por Ese Hombre' kept that connection alive through the 2000s, even as the genre's commercial landscape shifted. He's worked with everyone from Gilberto Santa Rosa to Marc Anthony, but his own catalog, 99 songs deep, is what fans return to.
He started singing in talent shows in Isabela, Puerto Rico, and put out his debut 'Justo a Tiempo' in 1993. The accusations in 2014 didn't stop the music; he kept recording and performing, adding tracks like 'Una Vez Más' with Reik to a catalog that already held 'Por ella' and 'Noche de Verano.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
