Salsa Music Legend – Frankie Negron!

 

New Jersey born salsa singer, Frankie Negron has been called "The genre's next definitive voice”    by All Music Guide.  Since 1997, his distinct blend of traditional salsa with progressive influences such as pop, rock, gospel, R&B, hip-hop, and reggaetón has garnered numerous awards.

Negron has earned many Grammy nominations, Billboard Award nods, and two Premio Lo Nuestro Awards for “Song of the Year”.  He’s had several number one singles, four Gold and Platinum albums, and nine Billboard Top 40 Hot Latin Tracks.

 

          Negron’s last album, his ninth overall, 2009’s Independence Day, earned enthusiastic reviews from New York Times’ Jon Pareles, who highlighted it in his seasonal record release roundup.  Negrón was selected to perform the album’s Spanglish hit, “Holding On to Love,” on an episode of ABC’s “One Life To Live,” where he also appeared with a speaking role. 

The single “Adicto A Tu Piel”, a fan favorite and an industry smash, reached #3 on the Billboard Tropical charts.  Negrón debuted his first English single, “Torn”, on Good Day New York.  The album was Frankie’s first independent release, and the label Airgo Music negotiated groundbreaking direct distribution deals for it with Walmart and Best Buy. 

  2015 Entertainment Line-up:

            The rest of the music line-up make up a who’s who of the Bay Area and Puerto Rico’s hottest and most charismatic salsa musicians, including, Orquesta Boringuen, Orquesta Saboricua, Pacific Mambo, and DJ Tony O.  Latin bands performing here demonstrate music ranging from salsa to  merengue.
