Oscar de León — Concert, 2022

A filmed live concert by Oscar de León, in 2022. Nicknamed “el Sonero del Mundo,” the Venezuelan singer and bassist is one of salsa’s great voices, active since the 1970s and celebrated across Latin America. This capture documents a full concert in which the orchestra unfolds the salsa dura and salsa romántica repertoire that made his name, driven by brass, Afro-Caribbean percussion and the leader’s distinctive voice. True to his stage persona, Oscar de León sings, conducts and dances, trading cues with his musicians and the audience throughout. The live format highlights the interaction with the orchestra, the sense of swing and the dance energy inherent to the genre, which turn the concert into a collective celebration. For fans of salsa, Latin music and great Caribbean voices, this filmed live concert offers a representative record of a major artist still performing after more than four decades of career. An entry that enriches the latin section of Livconcert’s catalogue.
