Charlie Aponte

Latin music is an all encompassing genre that features performers from Latin America, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Creole singers. It incorporates nearly all genres of music, from pop to rock to jazz. Some of the most popular genres include Latin pop, tejano, mariachi, and genres related to Latin American-based dances such as the salsa and the samba. Latin music has been developed by combining European, African, and indigenous influences, and includes performers like Charlie Aponte

Latin music is also a key element in some fusion genres. In the late 1980s, Latin performers in Puerto Rico combined their music with Jamaican-developed reggae and created reggaeton. Popular Latin singers and bands include Julio Iglesias, Vicente Fernandez, and Aventura. Latin music is not popular just in Mexico and South America. In recent years, the music has reached a global audience, with performers finding success in North America, Europe, and many other areas of the world!

Artist Info

Charlie Aponte is a Puerto Rican salsa singer, and for over 40 years was lead vocalist for the nation's legendary El Gran Combo.
Aponte was studying accounting at university, but had also established a solid reputation as a sonero, performing at top-grade clubs such as Lomas del Sol. It was there El Gran Combo's saxophonist Eddie Perez first heard him. Shortly thereafter, the group's founding vocalist, Pellin Rodriguez, left the band for a solo career, and Perez dropped Aponte's name and vouched for his solid reputation to Rafael Ithier, who had been tasked with finding a replacement. The latter made the singer audition over a three-month period, all the while vetting his references and assessing his character.
Aponte left his studies and joined El Gran Combo in June of 1973. He was its most illustrious frontman through the genre's golden age and beyond, becoming one of the great soneros, not only in Puerto Rico, but internationally.
Aponte retired from El Gran Combo in late 2014, at the age of 62, ostensibly to spend time with his family. He didn't stay out of the spotlight long, however -- he released his debut solo album, Una Nueva Historia, on Top Stop Music in 2015.
