Full concert filmed in Lima during a Salsa All Stars event, featuring Puerto Rican singer Luisito Carrión. A former voice of the Zaperoko orchestra, Carrión established himself as one of the most beloved soneros of the salsa dura of the 1990s and 2000s, renowned for his supple phrasing, his improvisations (soneos) and his ability to set a crowd alight. Backed by a large brass and percussion orchestra, he delivers a generous live concert here, running through his classics and salsa standards before a captivated Lima audience. This live capture conveys all the warmth of a salsa night: gleaming trumpet sections, fiery montunos, constant dialogue between singer and dancers. For salsa lovers and dancers alike, this full concert in Lima is a fine immersion into the infectious energy of Afro-Caribbean music played live, carried by an artist who embodies the Puerto Rican school at its most authentic and festive. It is also a vivid snapshot of Lima’s passionate salsa scene, where Puerto Rican and Colombian stars regularly meet a knowledgeable, dance-loving crowd.
