Sergio George Releases "Salsa Giants"

Published: 2013-07-21
In the summer of 2012, over 12,000 music fans gathered at the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival to witness a once in a lifetime concert experience as a select group of renowned salsa musicians came together for a historical one night event. That experience has been immortalized forever as Salsa Giants CD/DVD has been released under the production of musical director and producer Sergio George through Top Stop Music.

“I couldn't have made a better decision," said Sergio George. “To see these giants move so many souls together was a one and only experience, that fortunately, was recorded so it would never be forgotten, because concerts like that are rarely repeated."

The concert begins with a brief piano introduction from George before a series of Salsa legends representing numerous cultures took the stage. Performances included Marc Anthony, Oscar D'León, Cheo Feliciano, Luis Enrique, Andy Montanez, Willy Chirino, Jose Alberto Medina “El Canario," Tito Nieves, Nora from the Orquesta de la Luz and Charlie Zaav. Hits included “Fabricando Fantasías," “De Mí Enamórate," “Discúlpeme Senora," “Lo Que Está Pa' Ti," “Rebelión," “Yo No Se Manana," “Un Verano En Nueva York," “Llorarás" and “Tu Amor Me Hace Bien."

The album also features an original song featuring all of the Salsa Giants entitled “Para Celebrar."

“It felt like a graduation celebration... I said to myself, 'Wow, I'm here with the best,'" said Marc Anthony. And De León added: “I have to applaud and support this action taken by Sergio George."
