Few singers shaped the sound of salsa romántica like Puerto Rican crooner Eddie Santiago. Known for his thrilling vocal range and the stellar musicianship of his bands, Santiago set the romántica template with his mix of fiery dance jams and passionate ballads. He enjoyed a remarkable run of smash albums in the '80s and '90s, and his hit singles kept dancers grooving in tropical clubs around the world. Though his output slowed down a bit in the '00s, Santiago remains one of salsa's most versatile and powerful voices.
