Issac Delgado
"One of the greatest singers in the world regardless of genre." - The New York Times
Hailed as the Latin answer to Frank Sinatra, Issac Delgado is the most renowned Cuban
singer of his generation. Both a tireless innovator and an impeccable stylist, Delgado has
transformed modern Cuban dance music while respecting its storied traditions.
In his native Cuba, Delgado is a massive star, famed for his smooth delivery and
innovative approach to music. Born into a musical family (his mother was a singer and
dancer for Celia Cruz, among others), Delgado began his own career in a band with a
fellow Cuban, pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba. Stints in Pacho Alonso's Orquestra and the
Galaxia Group were followed by a career-defining role as the lead singer for NG La
Banda. Along with music director Jose Luis Cortez's, Delgado helped define a new genre
of music, timba, a street-inspired mix of latin jazz, funk, hip hop, and son rhythms. The
aggressive new sound stormed through Cuba.
To launch his solo career, Delgado reunited with old friend and musical collaborator,
Gonzalo Rubalcaba for Dando la Hora, now considered a classic album. Delgado
continued to break new musical ground on successive albums and his fame grew as he
began to tour internationally, including a landmark performance at the New York Salsa
Festival, alongside Celia Cruz, El Canario, and other salsa greats.
