 Rey, born in Cuba has been a prominent figure in the romantic salsa scene since the early 1990’s; even earning the title of the “Elvis of Salsa” by some and “Bombón de la Salsa” by others. Ruiz made a mark for himself with a tender, romantic musical style and his youthful good looks.
His recording career started with the self-titled Rey Ruiz in 1992, distributed by Sony Records. It won the “Billboard” and “Lo Nuestro” awards with several hit songs that drew international attention.
Accompanying Rey is one of the greatest salsa freestyle singers, Fania legend Adalberto Santiago. Adalberto known for his romantic hits such as “La Noche Mas Linda” has sung with top acts like Willie Rosario and was the lead singer of Ray Barretto’s orchestra.
During the 70’s, Adalberto made several recordings with such legends as Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Louie Ramirez, Roberto Roena and Fania All-Stars. Adalberto has recorded over 50 albums several which have turned gold. He is one of the most requested back-up vocalists for Latin albums and soundtracks.
“The London salsa scene is in for a treat with these two monsters of salsa!”
