A Latin music legend known for peerless romantic balladry, Argentine-Venezuelan hit maker Ricardo Montaner is a comforting presence in a rapidly changing world. Since first topping Latin charts in 1986, he has recorded with a symphony orchestra, released albums of Italian pop music, paid tribute to Mexican regional music and, with the help of his children, spiced up his signature style with up-to-the-minute electronics. The crooner's crooner has released more than two dozen albums and sold more than 65 million albums worldwide.
Standing on stage, his signature boyish tenor a soaring emotional delivery system, Montaner seems to hold his audience's hearts in his hands. His concerts are song treks through his musical career, a mixture of recent hits and classics, and, as he told the Arizona Republic, "a musical rendezvous" and "an encounter with my followers."
