Victor Manuelle to Perform at bergenPAC, 5/7
By: Tyler Peterson Mar. 28, 2016
Victor Manuelle has sold more than six million records worldwide, two million of them in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. He's had four RIAA-certified multiplatinum albums, six platinum, and six gold. He's had an incredible forty-six charting singles on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, and twenty-six #1 Tropical Airplay singles, a record, as he is the artist with the most #1's and Top 10 hits on the chart, most recently with 2015's "No Quería Engañarte." He's notched eleven #1 Tropical albums and one #1 Latin Pop album (2009's Muy Personal). He has received a combined 16 Latin Grammy and Grammy Award Nominations including one for Que Suenen Los Tambores (Best Tropical Latin Album) for the 58th Grammy Awards. Awards include four Billboard Latin Music Awards, four Premio Lo Nuestro, the Premio del Diario La Prensa, the ASCAP Golden Note Award, a Proclamation from the City of New York, and many others.
"Sal A Bailar" is the title of the new single off Victor Manuelle's latest production. The album, "Que Suenen Los Tambores," has garnered Victor much attention making him the only tropical artist to spend three consecutive weeks at #1 this year, as he broke his own record for most tropical chart-toppers. "Que Suenen Los Tambores" is simultaneously contemporary and classic, incorporating international musical touches while relying on his greatest strength: his power as a sonero (improvising singer) in the traditional Puerto Rican style. Every song on this album has hit potential. Victor Manuelle combines complex, personal lyrics with sing-along choruses. The lyrics are emotional, touching on painful subjects at times, as with "Algo Le Pasa a Mi Héroe," (Something's Happening to My Hero), about his father's battle with Alzheimer's. In this musical world, dance is a weapon against pain, so "Sal a Bailar" (Go Out Dancing) and, of course the title song, "Que Suenen Los Tambores," carries a message everyone can feel.
