There's good reason why Gilberto Santa Rosa is dubbed The Gentleman of Salsa: His sinuous croon and moving lyrics exude pure genuineness. The Puerto Rican bandleader has been a constant in the tropical music landscape since the '80s, releasing daring material that brims with romanticism. His repertoire—always laden with lavish orchestration—tells emotional tales that touch our hearts, like the rhythmically lush “Perdóname” and “Conciencia”, which showcase his sensitive side, and the sweeping “Te Propongo”, which simply overflows with gallantry.
