Charlie Aponte is a renowned Puerto Rican salsa singer, best known for his tenure as the lead vocalist of El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, one of the most iconic salsa bands in the world. Born Carlos Juan Aponte Cruz on February 2, 1951, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he developed a passion for music at an early age, heavily influenced by the rich musical culture of his homeland.

Aponte's musical journey began in his youth when he started singing in local groups and school events. His talent and dedication quickly became evident, and he soon found himself performing with various bands in Puerto Rico. His big break came in 1973 when he auditioned for El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, one of the most prestigious salsa bands, which had been founded in 1962 by Rafael Ithier.

Charlie Aponte joined El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico in 1973, replacing Pellín Rodríguez as one of the lead singers. This marked the beginning of a significant chapter in his career and in the history of salsa music. Aponte's voice, characterized by its smoothness and versatility, became a defining element of the band's sound. He contributed to numerous hits and albums that have become classics in the salsa genre.

(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire CHARLIE APONTE for an event?)
(i.e., what is CHARLIE APONTE booking fee to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
