About Issac Delgado
Hailed as a true innovator, Issac is the most renowned Cuban singer of his generation. Both a tireless creator and an impeccable stylist, Delgado has transformed modern Cuban dance music while respecting its storied traditions.
Frustrated by restrictions in Cuba, he walked across the Mexican-U.S. border with his family to launch a new phase of his career. “Being here doesn’t give me any greater control over things, such as whether I can get the radio to play my songs or not “ Delgado told the Los Angeles Times. “The only thing I can control is myself and my willingness to work and expose my music a little more to the public, which will have the last word. That’s the biggest censor an artist can have—the public that listens to your music.”
His first release in the U.S., 2007’s
En Primera Plana, earned Delgado global acclaim, including three Latin Grammy nominations, and the hit single “La Mujer Que Mas Te Duele” (featuring Victor Manuelle). The song rose to number three on the Billboard Latin Charts.
Of his latest release, Asi Soy Delgado says: “In sonority, this recording is still Cuban salsa, with Cuban color, but with a sound closer to—and for—the USA Latin American, in New York, L.A., and Puerto Rico.” Produced again by multiple Grammy-winner Sergio George (Tito Puente, Marc Anthony, Jerry Rivera) and the other giant of the Puerto Rican salsa sound, Jose Lugo, (Gilberto Santa Rosa's long-time musical director and producer), confirming his ongoing stature as “the future of tropical music" (Los Angeles Times)
