About

LISA LISA IN CONCERT:

Freestyle icon Lisa Lisa always brings the dance party on her fun-loving live tours, delivering decade-spanning sets of her funky hits to nostalgic fans. Body-rocking jams like “I Wonder If I Take You Home” and “Head to Toe” sound as fresh today as they did in the ‘80s, and Lisa Lisa’s spunky energy and groove sense remain as infectious as ever. Whether she’s throwing it back with ‘80s freestyle favorites or busting out recent material like her 2009 collaboration with Pitbull, Lisa Lisa is a top-drawer performer whose beat-heavy shows always take fans on a dance-worthy journey down memory lane.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam were one of the first acts to break out of NYC’s nascent freestyle scene in the mid-‘80s. New York-born Lisa Lisa, aka Lisa Velez, is of Puerto Rican descent, and grew up surrounded by both Latin music and urban contemporary styles in the city’s multicultural mix. In the mid-‘80s legendary R&B group Full Force discovered Velez, and they put together her backing band Cult Jam  and began writing and producing tracks for the group’s debut. Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam released their first album Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force in 1985. The record produced several Gold-selling singles including the dance chart No. 1 “I Wonder If I Take You Home”. The band’s rise continued in 1987 with sophomore album Spanish Fly, a Platinum-certified smash that earned them two consecutive No. 1s on the Hot 100 – “Head to Toe” and “Lost in Emotion”. The band continued to be a regular presence on the dance chart through the rest of the decade, but in 1991 they called it quits. Lisa Lisa found some success as a solo artist in the mid-‘90s with moderate hits like “Skip to My Lu” and “When I Fell in Love”, but she spent much of the ‘00s out of the spotlight. She made a triumphant return in 2009 with her sixth studio album Life ‘n Love, and continues to turn it out with party-worthy performances at freestyle festivals around the country.

    fantastic show

    by cubonfire on 4/22/13Laurie Auditorium - San Antonio

    I got what i was expecting from this show: chicks i loved years ago playing their biggest hits for an adoring nostalgic crowd. As much as i would have loved to hear some more deep cuts from Exposé, it was a pleasure to finally see them perform in person and they sounded fantastic. As well, they took over the stage with finesse and really had a solid presence. Tiffany sounded especially amazing, her vocals have truly developed well over the course of her career. The only awkward thing about the show was the Band that, for 90% of the show, pretty much just pantomimed with their instruments while backing tracks ran that sounded like they utilized the original masters from the original hit recordings. I felt bad for the band who would at times have to deal with the backing track fading out and find a subtle way to incorperate that into how there were playing. They looked like competent players but it just seemed incredibly unnecessary. It was a great time overall.

    Amazing Concert

    by MonLiz on 4/22/13Laurie Auditorium - San Antonio

    The show opened up with Tiffany. I loved that she interacted with the audience. Lisa Lisa & The Cult Jam was the life of the party. We danced the entire time! Expose jammed as well with their choreographed dance moves. It was great to see such a great performance. I didn't expect to have this much fun!!

    Great Concert and Great Performances

    by JasonTodd03 on 4/22/13Laurie Auditorium - San Antonio

    Had a great time. Thought the crowd attendance could have been better with better promotion. I found out they were coming only a month in advanced. They all did tremendous with their performances...Expose' didn't age at all, Tiffany was amazing. Was really surprised that Lisa Lisa sang only 1 verse and the chorus of two of her biggest hits and meshed them together. Didn't like the fact that the crowd kept trying to take pictures while the artists were performing. That was annoying and security didn't do much about it. There were VIP meet and greet tickets people could have purchased if they wanted to get things signed, you don;t do it in the middle of the concert. For Expose' headlining and to only sing 4 songs was a little disappointing. Wish the band was actually playing and not partly playing over an audio track.

    I was looking forward to this concert from the moment I heard about it. I was so disappointed the per show music was TERRIBLE. Tiffany was okay, Lisa Lisa I must say at least good out of your seat. EXPOSÉ , my long time favorite. It was TERRIBLE!!! Not even sure they actually sang. It was a lame concert. Concert tickets were over priced.

    Lady legendes were as awesome as they were then!

    by Arg143 on 4/21/13Laurie Auditorium - San Antonio

    I'm glad they all came back to San Antonio. I really wish that more freestyle musicians would come here an d set up an event with assigned seats rather than first come first serve type concerts! I'd go see them more often!

    Lisa Lisa was Excellent

    by DTaino on 6/1/1040/40 Club - Atlantic City

    Lisa Lisa opened with the Hip Hop Classic, I Wonder If I Take You Home. Everyone cheering and singing along as she sang some very familar songs. But when the 5 foot singer began to sing the bitter sweet song, All Cried Out, it seemed like the entire audience pushed closer to the stage to get a better look at the original latin diva. She gave an outstanding show; full of energy and her voice was really good. Highlights included Let The Beat Hit Em, All Cried Out and a new song called Stand but the entire set was good, about 45 minutes or so. Opening act, Kangol Kid of UTFO was really good too.
