Gilberto Santa Rosa

Gilberto Santa Rosa Cortés, also known as "El Caballero de la Salsa" (The Gentleman of Salsa) (born August 21, 1962), is a Puerto Rican bandleader and singer of salsa and bolero.

Early years

Santa Rosa was born in Carolina, Puerto Rico, a city on the northeastern part of the Island. Here he received his primary and secondary education and became interested in music. He took part in his first concert while a teenager and in 1976, he made his recording debut as a backup singer with the Mario Ortiz Orchestra; soon afterwards he was recruited by La Grande Orchestra, where he became the lead singer. He remained with the orchestra for two years, during which time he met Elias Lopez who helped to mold and polish him as a singer.

Singing career

During the 1980s, he recorded "Homenaje a Eddie Palmieri" (Tribute to Eddie Palmieri) with the Puerto Rican All Stars. He also recorded with various orchestras, amongst them the Tommy Olivencia Orchestra, and the Willie Rosario orchestra. Santa Rosa developed a unique style of "soneo" (improvisation) in salsa that permitted him to be successful in both the "tropical" and "romantic" styles of the music.

Se Supone

by: Gilberto Santa Rosa

Tu me pasas por el lado como si no te importara,
te sorprendes y te paras me saludas y te marchas
escoltada por tu nuevo amor.
Te situas al oto lado del salon entre la gente
para verme claramente,
el te habla, te pretendey tu me prestas toda tu atencion,
CORO:
CON QUIEN HABLO, CON QUIEN BAILO, SI USPIRO SI SONRRIO Q TE IMPORTA SI TU TIENES UN NUEVO AMOR,
SE SUPONE Q TU ME OLVIDASTE YA POR Q NO ERA
SUFICIENTE EL AMOR MIO,
SE SUPONE Q TU ME OLVIDASTE YA Q PODRIAS
