In our last blog, I mentioned Anthony Cruz’ “Empece a Llorar” as one the recent chart-topping salsa songs out now. However, Anthony has been around salsa for a very long time now and has some great classics as well. Starting back in 1990, he released “Algo Nuevo” with hits like “No Le Temas A El” and “Si Pudiera” and following it up with the less populat album “Para Ti” which had the classic “Dile a El”. More recently in 2002 he released probably the best album of his career in “Un Nuevo Amanacer” which contained the super-hits “Me Tienes Loco”, “Que Bombon”, “Bla, Bla, Bla” and the Salsa Iowa anthem “Ven”.
This year, his latest project, “Para Mi Gente” was released and so far, things are looking good. He has started with the single “Empece a Llorar” which is one my favorite of his songs.
If you like, cheerful, sentimental salsa that makes you move your arms around like you are playing the maracas, then you will like Anthony Cruz. Definitely check out his latest hit at your local “online store” or at one of our Latin Rhythmz dances
