Biography

Gilberto Santa Rosa was born on 21 August 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).
