Artist:Victor Manuelle
Song:Tengo Ganas
Album:Historia de Un Sonero
Singer Victor Manuelle has been popular in Puerto Rico since the 90s. His music is known as Salsa Romantica. That means he sings romantic songs but his music is salsa as opposed to pop. The 2004 single Tengo Ganas is his biggest hit. He was born Victor Manuel Ruiz Velasquez Sept. 27, 1968 in New York City but he grew up in Isabella, Puerto Rico. His singing career began when salsa superstar Gilberto Santa Rosa appeared at his high school graduation party concert. When Manuelle's classmates started bragging about his singing skills, Santa Rosa invited him to come on stage. To Santa Rosa's surprise, Manuelle could not only sing but he improvised his own lyrics. In the early 90s, Santa Rosa got Manuelle a record deal with Sony Latin and he has been a regular on the Latin charts ever since. Tengo Ganas is from Manuelle's 2004 album Travesia. The song was Manuelle's first #1 Latin hit. Manuelle wrote the song with Miami Sound Machine leader Emilio Estefan Jr. and Estefan produced. The album was certified Platinum. You can get it on this budget comp which comes with a bonus DVD. Manuelle still records and performs regularly. His latest album was released last year. He's not as popular as he used to be but he still does OK. Here's the video for Tengo Ganas by Victor Manuelle.
