ABOUT EDWIN LEBRON
Trenton native Edwin Lebron is a salsa artist who single-handedly plays a band’s worth of instruments on lively songs that make audiences get up and dance. Born to a talented musical family, Lebron began learning how to play instruments at just four years old. He went on to attend the Westminster Conservatory of Music at Princeton University before embarking on his career specializing in Cuban salsa. Lebron’s musical chops are impressive—he plays piano, bass, guitar, drums, congas, timbales, cowbells and the cuatro (from Puerto Rico). He has sung backup for Gilberto Santa Rosa, Tito Nieves and Frankie Negron, among others, and released his most recent album, Xtraordinario, in 2017.
A high-energy performer with a fresh spin on salsa that’s all his own, Lebron has performed at historic venues including Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Apollo Theater and New York’s Copacabana. In 2002, Lebron co-wrote the hit “Por Temor” with salsa singer Miosotis. He is also part of a GRAMMY-nominated team that worked on the 2013 album Mis Mejores Recuerdos, recorded by Tito Nieves.
ABOUT GABRIEL MUNOZ
Gabriel Muñoz, an accomplished cuatro guitar musician, was born in Puerto Rico in 1976. When he was 2, his family moved to New Jersey, where he grew up and still resides. He was introduced to the cuatro, a traditional Puerto Rican musical instrument similar to the mandolin, at the age of 14. He began honing his skills on the instrument through constant practice and immersing himself in the cuatro and in Puerto Rican music. During this period, he sought the advice and wisdom of other cuatro players, including the well known master Alvin Medina, in order to perfect his craft.
Gabriel Muñoz has performed all over, from hometown venues like Trenton City Museum’s Ellarslie Mansion to the LIbrary of Congress American Folklife Center, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with Melodias Borinqueñas, the ensemble he himself co-founded.
