International Salsa Magazine presents Edwin “El Calvito” Reyes “Metido En Su Garaje”.
The Pandemic (Covid-19), without a doubt, was devastating for a large number of people. For others, it was literally taken as a time of reflection, a time to reinvent oneself, a time to start a new era.
That is the case of our friend, and one of the fastest-growing salsa artists in the world, Edwin “El Calvito” Reyes. Aside from continuing to delight us with every song he releases, today, he has one of the most educational salsa programs on the networks and on Digital TV. It is called METIDO EN MI GARAGE and originates from the State of Florida, USA.
As a result of the pandemic, “El Calvito” turned his garage into a mini-TV studio, with the goal of helping his colleagues in the media, regardless of the background or trajectory of the guests. Also, radio broadcasters, world-class dancers, DJs, event organizers, and even music management experts are part of the weekly treat that our friend “El Calvito” brings us in his often program. It is virtual, and you can easily watch it from your home. Lots of salsa, and in an educational way.
However, this fruit of re-invention has surprised Edwin “El Calvito” Reyes, because his program, not only transmits in networks, but also in 3 Digital TV channels. Collectively, several thousands of people are integrated every week, thanks to the collaboration of these networks, such as TROPICAL MOON TV (Panama, Peru, Dominican Republic), DreamForceBTL TV (Colombia), and LA PODEROSA 360 TV (Puerto Rico).
Due to the great reception in Puerto Rico through LA PODEROSA 360 TV, the International Network UNIVISION and its TELEISLA Channel in Puerto Rico (National TV), gave our friend the opportunity to be a fundamental part of the Saturday program, called “Cuchito’s 360 Late Night Show”, bringing the current videos of salsa worldwide, to the national screen of Puerto Rico. His section is called “Esto Es Salsa Nueva” (This is New Salsa), as one of the songs of “El Calvito” Reyes is called.
Just over 150 people within the 55 episodes of the program have been part of it. Each one with a different and motivating story. There is no room for “bickering”, because it is very familiar, and the goal is always to bring a positive, constructive message. “We go with no time limit, and always full of pure positive energy,” says “El Calvito”.
Still, in the midst of his successful push with the track ESTO ES SALSA NUEVA which has surpassed 100,000 plays on Spotify, and with his new LIVE Production, titled,
“Here we have a Salsero de Hoy, dedicated with his heart, for the good of the salsa genre, in the whole world.
The musical world has a great all in Edwin “El Calvito” Reyes.
