Oscar D' Leon

by Jesús Salas
Senior Program Director, Latin Music Channels

Venezuelan born El Oscar De La salsa also called El Leon De La Salsa is a master at improvising, or “Soneando” as we say in Spanish, Oscar is nominated in the Best Tropical Latin Album Category with his latest album “Fuzionando”. I’ve seen him in action on stage where he goes overboard - it’s not unusual for him to go way beyond his allotted time slot at a carnival concert event such as Calle 8 or any of his concerts for that matter!

With this album Fuzionando, Oscar dips into many different musical sounds, La Canto his first single from this album has flamenco sounds from Spain mixed in with the Salsa rhythms. He also brings in Tego Calderon one of reggaetons top artists to join him in another cut Llamame. This album is one of the best productions he’s brought out from previous years. Le deseamos suerte a Oscar y que siga con su passion como siempre.
