Gilberto Santa Rosa, Tropical Music "Artist of the Decade" by Billboard, returns in 2010 with a new world tour: SANTA ROSA AL 100%, and under new management with Eventus. After selling out venues such as the American Airlines Arena in Miami, the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, and Madison Square Garden in New York, Santa Rosa takes on more intimate venues to get up close and personal with his fans.
SANTA ROSA AL 100% World Tour opened May 6th in Chicago and will progress throughout 2010, including a string of intimate performances at House of Blues venues in Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Diego and Orlando, making him the first Salsa act to tour using multiple House of Blues venues. The tour will also include several performances abroad in Latin America (Colombia, Venezuela, Perú, Panamá and Ecuador), wrapping up the GRAMMY® winner's overseas leg of the tour in Europe (Spain, Italy, and France).
Gilberto Santa Rosa, known in the music industry as "El Caballero de la Salsa", is a Puerto Rican born Tropical music aficionado. His perfection of a unique style of soneo, improvisation of Salsa ballads, launched Santa Rosa as a pioneer, making him successful in both the tropical and romantic styles of music. Santa Rosa boasts an impressive resume, which includes a 1990 Billboard Premio Lo Nuestro for Best Male Singer, a Latin GRAMMY® in 2006 for Best Salsa Album, and a GRAMMY® in 2007 for Best Tropical Album. "El Caballero" participated in the first Festival Presidente in the Dominican Republic and in July of 2008 became the first Salsa singer to perform at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona. As well, Santa Rosa has outsold many major Tropical artists including Celia Cruz and Marc Anthony. He is a master when it comes to Tropical music and his skill resonates in each song he releases; Latin crooner Víctor Manuelle can attest to this since it was Santa Rosa who discovered the Latin GRAMMY® nominated salsa singer.
Gilberto Santa Rosa will be at The Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theatre in Miami Beach, Florida on Saturday November 27, 2010.
