Aniversario Sin Cuenta, a musical experience starring Cecilia Bracamonte who commissioned Salgado to write and direct her story to commemorate fifty years of her illustrious musical career. Bracamonte decided that for this milestone in her life she wanted to celebrate "a la Broadway" and hired the Sergio Trujillo and Andy Blankenbuler protégé for the mission to create this night.
Artists such as Gabriela Garcia and Zunino were there to support the work and the mission of bringing Broadway quality work to places in Latin America that has been the history of Salgado Productions.
"A wonderful night! To watch the spectacular Cecilia Bracamonte in concert and celebrate not only her but the wonderful work of Salgado Productions along with Pura Vibra Producciones." Gabriela Garcia
The repertoire was selected from different genres, creating a fusion of waltzes and Afro-Peruvian rhythms with the international beats of hip hop and salsa.
Cecilia Bracamonte, Anniversary Sin-Cuenta had 2 spectacular performances starring Bracamonte, one of Perú's most beloved singers, with special guests Leo Amaya and Shantall Young Oneto. This world premiere concert was sold out and achieved record-breaking attendance at the one thousand seat house of Peruano Japonés Theater in Lima.
"I have attended almost every concert of foreign artists coming here and I think Peru has never seen anything as wonderful as this. In the hands of a young talented director Luis Salgado, with his Broadway influence the great Cecilia Bracamonte had a WONDERFUL show" - Ernesto Reyes
Salgado, who has worked on some of the most successful Broadway shows in the last years - as Latin assistant choreographer of the Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights, and cast member of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, is thrilled about the accomplishments of artist Bracamonte, the musicians lead by Ernesto Hermoza and the 20 young dancers who brought this vision to life.
What can I say? We must follow our heart and pursue our dreams. I came with nothing to NYC and now I get to travel the world simply doing what I love. It''s a huge honor and a big responsibility says Luis Salgado.
