For this salsa party in the Bronx, three artists offer different takes on the classic Caribbean sound. Newark-born singer Frankie Negrón incorporates pop, rock, gospel, R&B, hip-hop, and reggaetón elements into his brand of salsa; he’s also dabbled in acting, appearing in Paul Simon’s Broadway production of The Capeman. Puerto Rican singer Christian Alicea has made a name for himself adding an urban twist to the salsa sound. The former firefighter had a big 2024, when he was named a Billboard Latin Artist on the Rise and nominated for a Latin GRAMMY for Best Salsa Album. The lineup is rounded out by Funk Salsa Urban, a New York City group inspired by the 90’s Latin group DLG, fusing funk and urban rhythms with Spanglish lyrics on original songs (“Subelo”), popular covers (Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk”) and medleys (“Tribute to El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico”).
