Biography
Lovingly dubbed âThe Pavarotti of Salsa,â Humberto Nieves (Born on June 4, 1958), better known as Tito Nieves, is a Puertorrican musician and one of the leading exponents of The New York Sound. Nievesâ family relocated to New York when he was still a child, and he was soon encouraged by his father and uncle to take music lessons. Following his involvement with Héctor Lavoeâs Orchestra and El Conjunto Clásico as a backup singer during the late 70s, Nieves kicked off his solo career in 1988 with The Classic, which spawned the hit single âSonámbuloâ and earned him his first gold record. Spearheaded by the salsa cover of Whitney Houstonâs âIâll Always Love You,â Yo Quiero Cantar (1989) became an instant crossover hit, peaking at Number 5 on Billboardâs Tropical Albums chart and quickly obtaining gold certification. Following a handful of successful LPs during the early 90s, Nieves released I Like It Like That (1996), an album sung entirely in English that finished cementing his popularity with American audiences. More accolades ensued with Clase Aparte (1999), which earned Nieves a Globo Award for Best Tropical Music Act, and the Grammy-nominated En Otra Onda (2001). The salsa legend remained prolific in subsequent years, releasing Fabricando FantasÃas (2004), which featured contributions by Nicky Jam and La India on the Number 1 hit âYa No Queda Nada,â and Canciones Clásicas de Marco Antonio SolÃs (2007), a tribute to the Mexican pop star that reached Number 4 on Billboardâs Tropical Albums chart. The following decade, Nieves stayed on top of his game with Entre Familia (2010), Mi Ãltima Grabación (2011), Que Seas Feliz (2012), and En Dos Idiomas (2015) all of which enjoyed great popularity both in the US and Puerto Rico. In 2020, he celebrated 45 years of music by releasing âSi Tú Te Atreves,â a duet with Peruvian singer Daniela Darcourt produced by pianist and longtime collaborator Sergio George.
