The Beginning of a New Era

After dedicating over ten years to delighting audiences across Latin America, Colombian singer Gusi is excited to launch his inaugural U.S. tour. This milestone event is especially significant for both the artist and his fans, who are eager to experience his vibrant music live.

Collaboration with Emilio Estefan

In preparation for his U.S. performances, Gusi has teamed up with renowned producer Emilio Estefan, who has played an instrumental role in shaping the Latin music landscape. The two recently discussed their collaboration, particularly focusing on Gusi’s latest single, “Acabaste Conmigo,” which is rapidly climbing the Latin music charts.

“It’s a dream come true. You know, Emilio is part of Latin and American history. I’m so grateful and thankful to Emilio and all of his team,” said Gusi.

“For me, it’s a celebration to work with Gusi. He’s a worldwide name representing Colombia, and he brings a sound that makes everyone dance and smile,” commented Estefan.

Understanding Vallenato

At the heart of Gusi’s music is Vallenato, a genre that merges various styles of Colombian folk music. Gusi elaborated on the cultural significance of this sound:

“The perfect sound from Colombia. Like Cumbia and Vallenato, they are like a perfect couple; it’s folk music. We have many artists representing that sound.”

This fusion of traditional elements leads to a unique musical experience that is both danceable and contagious. Estefan added insights from his production experience, emphasizing the essential components of the genre:

“It’s the bass, accordion, and percussion. When you mix that sound from Colombia, it resonates universally, and people just love it and dance.”

A Solo Performance in Miami

Gusi’s U.S. tour commenced in Miami, featuring a unique setup: he performs solo on stage, creating an intimate connection with the audience. His decision to go solo underscores his confidence and dedication to deliver an impactful live experience.

A Nod to Deco Drive

During their conversation, Estefan expressed gratitude towards Deco Drive, an entertainment news show that has provided support over the years.

“We love Deco Drive. They have been special to Gloria and me for many years. Congratulations on everything you do; it is fantastic,” Estefan noted.
