They call him the "Gentleman of Salsa". Mr. Gilberto Santa Rosa needs no introduction; he is a gentleman and represents the World of Salsa with a divine sense of integrity and poise.

Gilberto is currently on a promotional tour for his latest romantic salsa CD "Visaversa" that was released on September 3, 2002 under the Sony label and produced by Jose M. Lugo.

"This is the first time that I title an album with one of the song's names," says Santa Rosa, " even though the song 'Viceversa' has nothing to do with the 'Viceversa' of the album. The song is a story of love and hate, while the album's title refers to its two faces, one tropical and the other romantic."

Gilberto stopped by for a performance in Los Angeles area promoting his newest CD and single "Por Mas Que Intento". The song was written for Gilberto by renowned composer/producer Kike Santander and this was the first time these two music talents have collaborated together. The album features 13 songs - some of which were written by Victor Manuelle and Domingo Quinonez. Contributers with Chorus were also Andy Montanez, Victor Manuelle, Ismael Mirander and Domingo Quinonez just to name a few.

The album features a song authored by Santa Rosa's close friend and colleague Victor Manuelle, called 'Si te dijeron,' and a very popular Cuban tune by Jose A. Pinares, 'Elrefran se te olvido.'
