“El Caballero De La Salsa”, the incredible Puerto Rican sonero Gilberto Santa Rosa, released his latest album, entitled “Colegas”, on the 4th of September. This album is the culmination of more than 6 years of work.
It consists of 19 songs, lasts 1h45m and has the collaboration of 16 guest artists. The weight of this great production is immediately felt. Gilberto Santa Rosa is a champion in collaborations. He is one of the most active figures in the Latin music industry. An admirable feat considering his long musical career and his 58 years. It remains fresh, dynamic and passionate.
The list of invited artists is an authentic constellation of stars from Puerto Rican and Cuban music. From Puerto Rico: Tito Nieves, Tito Rojas, Luisito Carrión, Víctor Manuelle, Choco Orta, Herman Olivera, Maelo Ruiz, Carlitos Ramírez, Ismaelito Rivera, Francisco Rosado “Pirulo”, Yan Collazo, Michelle Brava and Nino Segarra; From Cuba: Isaac Delgado and Juan José Hernández.

We illustrated the sound of this album with the song “Tremendo Coco”. A song written by Henry Alvarez that was popularized by Joe Cuba Sextet. Here with the arrangement by Javi Fernandez.
