The Puerto Rican salsa group El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico will be performing at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal this summer!
On May 21, 1962, El Gran Combo was heard for the first time on Puerto Rican radio.
El Gran Combo released their first group album, Acángana, in 1963 with Rodríguez and Montañez as lead singers. The album became a number one hit in New York, Panama and Puerto Rico.
In 2000, El Gran Combo was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame. In 2002, the group celebrated their 40th anniversary with two sold-out concerts at the Ruben Rodríguez Coliseum in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.
The band continues to receive numerous awards throughout Latin America.
The group is still going strong and working continuously. Some music historians have dubbed them La Universidad de la Salsa (The University of Salsa), which is also the title of their hit 1983 album.
