Live concert film of Cuban salsero Issac Delgado at the Studio de l’Ermitage in Paris, on 16 June 2025, captured by RFI. Nicknamed « El Chévere de la Salsa », Issac Delgado has been one of the major voices of Cuban salsa and timba since the 1990s. On the Parisian stage, surrounded by virtuoso musicians, he presents his album « Mira Cómo Vengo » and revisits his great classics in a high-voltage atmosphere. This RFI audio and video capture, mixed in spatial sound, highlights the richness of the arrangements, the brass section and the Afro-Cuban percussion that sets the room alight. The intimate format of the Studio de l’Ermitage reinforces the closeness to the artist and the crowd’s fervour. A full concert perfect for discovering, in 2025, Cuban salsa carried by Issac Delgado, filmed in Paris in excellent conditions. A former frontman shaped by Havana’s dance-band tradition, he bridges classic son and modern timba, and the Ermitage setting lets every horn line and vocal improvisation land with clarity.
