With five decades and more than 30 million albums of Gilberto Santa -Roza’s albums (San Huang -e -Puerto -Riko, 1962) -one of those stars of Latin music capable of dancing on the masses since the sounds of the first note. Knight of the sauceAs widely known, he lands this Saturday at the cult festival of Seville to offer a tour of his great successes for the public, called for the purpose of Plaz, Espanya from the Spanish capital.
Despite the fact that his songs took him around the world, from New York to Tokyo, the artist tells Sevilldiaria.es: “I do not believe that I stop surprising me, the enthusiasm and emotions of Nova are in any place, because the public is always different. These are people who make work experience, never the same. We are pleased to get to the place and create music, and especially at summer festivals, we have not become earlier, and not based, and not based on, and not based, and not based, and not in
However, you can ask Santa -Roza whether the sauce is – as a globalized phenomenon – is the same for the Japanese, for the Australian or for the Caribbean. “I believe that you live in a different way, but there is a common denominator with dancing. This is a way that people express their taste for music. There is a very interesting phenomenon in Europe, and for many years there is a dance school of salsa, which can be said, which even helps a lot in the development of this music on this side of the world. But besides this, the audience is delivered in many ways when thoughts arrive. ”
Musicians are divided by kilometers
The task in his country from a very young age, Gilberto Santa -Rosa won a decade after a decade of a very busy market, which, according to him, today is unrecognizable. “The promotion of multinational corporations has changed dramatically. This is radical. This is a completely different world, all that we learned is no longer worth it. You used to record the recording and went out for its advance, and if the album was successful, you felt it, on the street, walking, in the car … before it was more physical, no?
“The essence of art has not changed, although people already have another way to record their music,” he continues. “Today you write with people who do not even know who have many kilometers, because there is a part that has invaded this technology.
And speaking of changes, the author of albums as Point of view, perspective, twice, heart or Expression He regrets how the Latin community that fought so much from the last century to defeat its place, except for prejudices and stereotypes, has been criminalized and stigmatized again. “There is definitely a problem, especially in the United States with this person ahead. The analysis that is carried out is an exaggerated racist and unfair. Our countries have our people as many problems as in any other country. And many good people, because it is a matter of human nature. What bothers me when leaders want to damage the image, and not bad.
General origin
Finally, Gilberto Santa -Rosa does not refuse to refuse to refer to another Latin music, which has not stopped the colonization of sound spaces in recent decades, a reggeton, in which many see the resemblance to the healing of the salsa in the 60s and 70, without a doubt, not only in this musical evolution, but also from the industry, which is numerically exceeding the sauce and other areas.
“We have our own attributes, our own history and our own merits, and they have their own. I never forced them to compete, ”concludes Gilberto Santa -Roza, making it clear that he respects the reggethonos, even if he does not admit that he likes what they are doing. “No, yo no so público de reguetón, aunque he coolaborado con algunos de ellos. Curiosamente muchas de las grandes figuras de regetón concien he podversar SON FANATICOS de La Salsa. Yo Warry Un Emento del Siglo Pasado.
