Sabor a Café welcomes one of Chicago's premier salsa singers, composers and bandleaders, José 'Papo' Santiago.Papo Santiago has been a driving force in the Chicago salsa scene for decades, both as an instrumentalist and as a world-class sonero. Santiago started his musical journey in Ponce, Puerto Rico, the birthplace of some of the most celebrated musicians in Latin music history, where he was recruited by La Terrífica in the early 1970s to play baritone saxophone. The band's international acclaim paved the way for Santiago's incursion into the world of salsa.
In the 80s Santiago moved to Chicago, where he carved a niche for himself and mastered the flute, guitar, and his own vocal improvisational skills. In his improvisations, Santiago combines a street-wise sense of humor with a unique approach to rhythm and swing. Santiago is also the founder and leader of Infraverde, considered by Timba.com “as one of the more polished and progressive Salsa ensembles in Chicago in recent years.”
