Led by Vince Alvarado and Johan Aguirre, some of Toronto’s top salsa musicians pay tribute to the great a salsa legend.

Son d'Aqui is made up of some of Toronto's best salsa players who are known for their knowledge of great salsa players and being able to revive the sound and feeling of legendary songs. Their music is enjoyed by audiences who are fans of these salsa legends as well as people listening to the greats for the first time.

Frankie Ruiz was an American salsa singer and songwriter of Puerto Rican descent. He was a major figure in the salsa romántica subgenre that was popular in the 1980s and early 1990s. During his youth, he developed a passion for percussion, later confessing that this would have been his second choice after singing. Fan reaction to his work was diverse. Within the Latino community, he was regarded as "one of the best salseros ever", and Puerto Ricans abroad were particularly fond of it because it brought back memories of their homeland. Among non-Latinos, some admitted that his music had been responsible for their interest in salsa as a genre and even the Spanish language.
