BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
George Lamond, aka George Garcia, was born in Washington, D.C. but moved to his parents’ native Puerto Rico at the tender age of two. Five years later the family returned to the states and settled in the Bronx area of New York City, where Lamond was exposed to the budding Latin freestyle scene during his teens. In 1989 he dropped his first single “Bad of the Heart”, a breakout hit that earned him a deal with Columbia Records. He released his debut album Bad of the Heart on the label the following year, reaching No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the strength of a string of popular singles like “No Matter What” and “Look Into My Eyes”. His 1992 sophomore album In My Life fared similarly thanks to a string of popular freestyle jams, but by the mid-‘90s Lamond was recording Spanish-language music more influenced by the sounds of salsa than NYC street styles. In 1999 he scored his first Top 10 hit on the Latin Tropical/Salsa Airplay chart with “Que Te Vas”, and he remained a fixture on the chart throughout the early ‘00s. It’s been a decade since he’s released an album, but Lamond continues to impress anytime he performs his unique catalog of freestyle and salsa hits on tour.
Excellent event, venue at the Miramar theater was incredible, the sound, my seats & everything was so well organized...10 stars to that venue & the artists were great & sung live too & OMG I will cherish this event forever!!
Awesome English it was louder they play music very low maybe because it's on a residential area drinks are outrageous priced. I could buy a bottle for one drink
I’ve been not feeling well lately and when I saw about the concert and that George Lamond was coming, I called my friend from Orlando and asked if she wanted to go, of course she said yes and we went. It was great since the beginning but when George was on stage he took me back to my HS, college years and wow, wow the experience was unique. He performed so good and he made sure we all sang and danced with him. The only thing I regret was to not have the chance to get his autograph. All other performers were great and when the Cover Girls and Information Society performed, that was an incredible experience. I loved, loved this concert!!!!!
Went to the 80's Explosion at St. George Theatre in Staten Island. Concert was amazing. Many freestyle artists performing. Brought me back to the good ole '80's. Would see it again!!!!!
It was a good show, good songs that remind you of when you were young. The venue was nice and comfortabe. The drinks were at a reasonable price which was also a plus.
Wasn't worth the money to see this show, sound was not good, mic issues during proformances, definetly wouldn't reccommend it to anyone
