One of the biggest acts in salsa music, Puerto Rican born Santa Rosa grew up in Guayama, Puerto Rico. Considered one of the classiest acts in the industry, he has won many adoring fans throughout Latin America, especially in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Spain, where his music is played daily on radios.
Gilberto Santa Rosa was born on August 21, 1962, in Puerto Rico and today is known as “El Caballero de la Salsa” (the gentleman of salsa). In 1976 he started with a group of amateurs in Puerto Rico, and his first recording was with the Mario Ortiz Orchestra. He then moved on to Orquesta La Grande, and during the two years Gilberto was with them, he met Mr. Elias Lopés who later helped mold and polish the promising young singer, releasing three recordings.
In 1980, he got an important opportunity recording “Homenaje a Eddie Palmieri” with the Puerto Rico All Stars. He then went on to record with Tommy Olivencia. From 1981 through 1986 he was with the Willie Rosario Orchestra where he recorded six albums.
Santa Rosa then signed with Ralph Cartagena’s Combo Records. In 1986, he debuted on Good Vibrations fronting his own salsa orquesta. After releasing three more albums on Combo, including “De Amor y Salsa”, he switched to CBS Records and issued the chart-topping salsa romantica set Punto De Vista in 1990, which went platinum and spawned the smash hits “Vivir Sin Ella” and “Perdoname”. Santa Rosa’s 1991 CBS/Sony follow-up, Perspectiva, was another monster hit.
Since the mid-80s, the mainstream salsa recording industry in Puerto Rico and the USA has been largely preoccupied with developing and marketing the images of “good looking” young male vocalists, rather than producing solid, stimulating music performed by swinging soneros (improvising salsa singers). Santa Rosa, however, who was one of the first of this new crop of solo singers, is regarded as being amongst the small number who deserve to be called a sonero.
In 1990, Santa Rosa was in the illustrious company of Andy Montañez and Pedro Brull (from Mulenz), as one of the contemporary soneros assembled by bandleader Don Perignon for his all-star La Puertorriqueña project. In 1990, he won the Billboard Lo Nuestro award for Best Male Singer. He has also performed at New York’s prestigious annual salsa festival.
He visited Japan in 1995 as Puerto Rico’s musical ambassador and sang one of his songs, “De cara al viento” in Japanese in his effort to bridge the cultural barriers. Since then Santa Rosa’s fame reached across borders and continents; commanding recognition as salsa artist in most demand. In 1976 he released yet another smash album Esencia which included hit songs such as No Quiero Nada Regala’o.
Santa Rosa ‘s recent work has not been limited to soloist recordings. He joined other artists in the First President’s Festival in the Dominican Republic; Andy Montañez in New York’s Lincoln Center in 1997; and Olga Tañon in the Universal Studios Amphitheater in Hollywood in 1997.
Santa Rosa ‘s most recent release in 2001 was the well-received album, Romantico. ~ Music of Puerto Rico
