Gilberto Santa Rosa is an incredible singer with an amazing band. This venue was all wrong for this concert! The Buell is an amazing venue, but it is meant for symphonies and ballets, where everyone sits and listens. Ticket prices were similar to symphony performance prices, so they were too high for most of GSR's fans to afford, and the event was sparsely attended. There was no dance space, and his fans expected to be able to dance during the concert. This event should have been booked into a hotel ballroom or other event space with a big dance floor, and priced accordingly. There is a very large and enthusiastic salsa fan base here in Denver, and they would have loved to have been able to attend this concert. That type of an event would have sold out!
That all said, I had an amazing time listening to GSR sing and dance. His voice is clear and strong, and his music is always beautiful. The band was strong and talented. Very enjoyable performance and I am glad I had the chance to see Gilberto perform live.
