Juan Carlos Aponte Cruz, better known as Charlie Aponte, is one of the best-loved Puerto Rican soneros working today. His unique voice and style earned countless fans over four decades since he first emerged in El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.
Tenor Paquito Guzman has released close to two dozen albums and is known as one of the great salsa romantica performers. He has become a legend for his command of guajira, bolero and pachanga.
Ray De La Paz has been singing for more than 30 years throughout the world. A native New Yorker, he has collaborated on albums with Ray Barretto, Louie Ramirez, Cheo Feliciano and Chino y Su Conjunto Melao.
