Who knew Yuri could do salsa improvisations?
Yet there she was, soneando next to one of the best – Gilberto Santa Rosa —in their joint rendition of Santa Rosa’s “Conteo Regresivo” at Premio Lo Nuestro on Thursday night (Feb. 24). Backed by a live salsa band, Santa Rosa and Yuri parlayed off each other for a delivery of the “Conteo” version that Yuri included in her live album Celebrando a Una Leyenda with La Sonora Santanera.
For the Premio Lo Nuestro performance, Yuri dazzled in a sexy, full-length yellow dress, and Santa Rosa, of course, was a consummate gentleman in his suit. Both flexed their vocal chops as they flawlessly executed the “Conteo Regresivo” performance.
