Cinturita Coqueta showcases Sammy Torres' performance of his modern-day salsa compositions and lyrics.

Sammy comes from a musical family, from which he gained the knowledge that led him to develop his singing style. When Sammy arrived in New York, his enthusiasm and love of Latin music steered him to auditioning for local bands. While in New York he was a vocalist for the Chimpum York band and sang with Julio Barreto. He performed with the groups Combo Ocho and Los Peloteros del Swing. Sammy came to Seattle in 2004 and played for Jazz saxophonist Layla Angulo. They performed for many festivals and events in the Puget Sound region. They also played at the Triple Door's main event concerts, which eventually led Sammy to form his own band called Salsariba. While working on his band's CD in 2006, titled "Salsariba," Sammy returned to Peru, where he had the great honor of recording with such talented artists as Oscar Huaranga, Carlos Ubillus, David Barreto, and Willy Gonzalez from the Orquestra Camaguey, as well as Jose Misajel, Omar Ubillus, Rafael Labarrera, and Juan Canevello. In 2012, Sammy Torres y su Salsariba Orq. introduced eight original songs on his new CD, "Necesitamos Amor." The rhythms are contagious and the salsa interpretations first rate.Produced in Peru, "Necesitamos Amor" includes: Si Te Portas Mal, Necesitamos Amor, La Fe, La Parcerita, Las Leyendas. Sammy quickly followed with 5 singles: Festegol, Yo Soy Su Tipo, Llego la Hora, Te Voy a Dar Nalgaditas, and Siempre Pa'lante. Sammy's creativity continued in 2013 with the release of the album "Que Hare Ahora," which features original songs that play with the traditional and contemporary rhythms of salsa-timba, latin-festejo, vals-lando, and vals-jaranero. 2016 highlighted two more singles, Sin Ti Nada Es Igual and La Chica de Mis Sueños.
