The renowned Puerto Rican salsa singer, Charlie Aponte, managed to captivate his followers in the Dominican Republic, filling the Hard Rock Santo Domingo venue completely.

The audience was particularly notable for the presence of young people under the age of fifty, who were not born when Aponte was already standing out as the main vocalist of El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, in nineteen seventy-four.

However, the younger audience showed equal enthusiasm, singing and dancing to each of the songs alongside the long-time followers of the known as “Timbalero”, at the concert “La Historia Continúa”, organized by Richard Ríchardson of RR Producciones.

Charlie Aponte opened his act with the hit “Se nos perdió el amor”, capturing the attention of the numerous attendees, for over ninety minutes of pure musical delivery.

The salsa singer delighted the present with a selection of his greatest hits such as “Aguacero”, “Dime que quieres”, “Compañera mía”, “El último romántico”, “Ojitos negros”, “Así logramos nuestro amor”, “Arroz con habichuela”.

The evening continued with a perfectly coordinated orchestra and the impeccable voice of Charlie Aponte, who paid a moving tribute to the late Dominican merenguero Johnny Ventura, creator of the iconic song “Trampolín”.

Aponte continued his performance with songs like “Hojas blancas”, “Brujeria”, “No hay cama”, “Timbalero”.

He bid farewell, expressing his gratitude for the warm reception and constant support he has received in the Dominican Republic. Aponte is celebrated for his stellar participation over more than four decades in “El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico”, as the main vocalist, being the protagonist of the group’s greatest successes.
