Issac Delgado is one of Cuba's most revered salsa and timba musicians, whose career spans over three decades. Having been born in Havana on September 11, 1962, Delgado grew up in a culture rich with musical heritage. He began his journey in music studying guitar, but his talent for singing soon became evident. By the mid-1980s, Delgado's velvety voice caught the attention of the music world when he joined the acclaimed group NG La Banda, one of the bands that led the timba movement in Cuba.

Delgado went on to pursue a successful solo career in the early '90s, becoming a figurehead of the genre with hits that blend traditional Cuban music with salsa, jazz, and pop elements. His solo albums often showcase a blend of romantic lyrics and upbeat rhythms, which have earned him a passionate following both in Cuba and internationally. Over the years, Delgado has demonstrated his reverence for Cuban musical traditions while also pushing the genre forward, as seen in works like "Cha Cha Chá: Homenaje a lo tradicional," which pays tribute to the timeless dance genre of cha-cha-chá.

His ability to innovate within the genre is also apparent in albums like "Lluvia y Fuego" and the remastered edition of "Dando La Hora," a celebration of his musical journey with fresh takes on his classic sounds. Whether through his soulful ballads or his feet-moving dance numbers, Issac Delgado has remained a pillar of Latin music, continuing to release albums such as "Seleccion," which brings together some of his most recent works. Delgado not only represents the infectious beats of Cuba but also its enduring spirit and rich artistic expression.
