Héctor Acosta (El Torito)

Héctor Elpidio Acosta Restituyo better known as Héctor Acosta "el Torito" is one of the Dominican Republic's most famous performers. His bachata music has spread across the South of America and has spread into the North states in places as Hector travels the continent spreading his music and good vibes. Selling thousands of albums and performing in a variety of venues and countries has given this musician an even larger amount of confidence and he practically bounds onto stage to be met with deafening applause.

A career that has spanned over two decades, Acosta is close to celebrating his 50th birthday yet he moves with the vigour and enthusiasm of a man half his age as he allows himself to get completely caught up with the irresistible latino beats. His crowd goes wild all evening and as soon as he saunters to their end of the stage and teases them with a few verses. There is no doubt that Hector will still be performing in another twenty years and his band and the man himself have such visible passion for what they do. Those with interests in latino pop, bachata and world music should not miss this show.
