Jose Nogueras and Bobby Cruz Share a Social Message in Salsa

Veteran artists Jose Nogueras and Bobby Cruz have teamed up to create “Yo Soy Tú, Tú Eres Yo” (“I Am You, You Are Me”), a powerful song that celebrates equality, solidarity, and brotherhood among all people. According to a statement from Nogueras, the track delivers a deep and universal message: “Beyond our differences, we share the same dreams, struggles, and hopes.”

Composed by Jose Nogueras, “Yo Soy Tú, Tú Eres Yo” is a clear tribute to hope, love, justice, and unity, all set to a salsa rhythm deeply rooted in Puerto Rican heritage. The unmistakable voices of Nogueras and Cruz encourage us to reflect on the importance of human connection and empathy.

The song blends the classic essence of salsa with a meaningful human message. As is often the case with Nogueras’s compositions, the content resonates with today’s social reality. The arrangement perfectly complements the lyrics with rhythmic power, flavor, and authentic Puerto Rican style. This new release honors tradition while connecting with new generations of musicians and fans alike, thanks to its timeless message.

Nogueras’s lyrics once again confirm that his music serves as a vehicle for unity and hope. Meanwhile, the impeccable musical arrangement by Luis “Perico” Ortiz brings together several generations of great Puerto Rican musicians. The track features the talented Jorge Rivera on bass, interacting with the veteran tumbadora player Sammy Garcia. One of the most promising percussionists of his generation, David Marcano, shines on timbal and bongo. He’s also a member of one of the most respected dynasties in Puerto Rican popular music. On piano is Puerto Rico’s most versatile contemporary salsa artist, Carlos Garcia. The voices of the irreplaceable Josué Rosado and Willito Otero in the chorus seem to welcome back someone we’ve been missing for a while: Aldo Matta. The trumpets were handled by the song’s arranger, Luis “Perico” Ortiz, while Diego Diaz played the trombone.
