Great music, fabulous atmosphere, impressive and clean building, friendly staff.
Fantastic opening act by Charlie Cruz and what can I say about El Gran Combo, truly Puerto Rico's pride and joy! They get better with age and never disappoint!
World renown salsa band, El Gran Combo, had everyone on their feet dancing to their amazing music. It was an unforgettable show!!!
They are greatest salsa group I've heard, I'm glad I attended this concert. I recommend when the Gran Combo is in the area again not to miss it. I will certainly attend the next concert!!!!
excellent, out of sight, couldn't have been any better, real pros, tight band
Very professional group that plays amazing salsa music from Latin Ameica. This concert is for anyone that enjoys latin music. You do not need to speak spanish to enjoy this show, the music is truly universal.
this song was the best in the late 80's and continued to be the best now
Music was too loud, quality music does not need to hurt your ears. High volume often is looked at to compensate for lack of quality. In this case the musicians were good but the volume certainly was too high to be able to appreciate them. 2 minutes into the show some heartthrob singer in leather pants showed up and turned the event into a Puerto Rican Parade. Only Spanish spoken. This was not the way it was advertised and focus on popular Puerto Rican songs took precedence over the musician-ship. Needless to say I walked out after about 30 mins.
I took my dad for his birthday / Father's Day treat. He was very happy and very entertained. We had an amazing time.
El gran combo is been playing salsa for over 50 years it was a lifetime experience that I would never forget. The venue was beautiful and planning to go there again.
Excellent show!!! The theater was the perfect setting!! Band was amazing!!!
el gran combo is really great. at their age they are still the best salsa group. their unique arrangement and beat stands out from other salsa groups or single singers. old school salsa has the beat that won't let you stay seated.
Had a wonderful time. Danced without restriction or complaints from others as it was one big party. What's not to love! Never had such a good time at a concert.
El Gran Combo gives a great performance. I love how they are true to the originality of their songs, not changing so much that it sounds like a different song, like many performers do. Their concert is about the music. No half-naked dancers, fireworks, etc. Just the purity of the music we have come to love after so many years of salsa.
I was a great concert, the seats were great and my brother in law and i had a great time... also it was just them only not other singers added on....
highly energetic group of veteran musicians,been around for 53 yrs according to them and their professionalism showed thru,Tillis center although a nice theatre not suited for Gran Combo as the whole crowd wanted to dance and only the aisle are available to dance in,but non the less a great time had by all
I reluctantly attended this event as it was more of a gift to my parents and siblings. When my siblings couldn't make it, I took their place with my girlfriend and was so glad I went. These legends can still perform and entertained the crowd with audience requests. 2 hours of salsa enjoyment and childhood memories growing up with these Hall of Famers!
Treated my siblings and a friend to the wonderful concert. It was the first time my brother had seen them live. He smiled for two hours while he bopped his leg to the rhythms. Salsa dancers couldn't contain themselves and danced in the aisles! That was a treat! Hope to see them again soon!
Bought the tickets for my mother, Birthday gift.... She had a great time!
I love El Gran Combo. I was there at Tilles Center to see them last year and I am so happy that I checked the Tilles Center Website and saw that they were going to play there again. I hesitated not to get tickets because the music & the energy is great. I put my salsa steps into practice in the aisle along with other dancers. I hope that the Tilles Center will make it a tradition to have them back year after year,
