In 1976 he started with a group of amateurs in Puerto Rico, and his first recording was with the Mario Ortiz Orchestra. He then moved on to Orquesta La Grande, and during the two years Gilberto was with them, he met Mr. Elias Lopés who later helped mold and polish the promising young singer, releasing three recordings.
In 1980, he got an important opportunity recording "Homenaje a Eddie Palmieri" with the Puerto Rico All Stars. He then went on to record with Tommy Olivencia. From 1981 through 1986 he was with the Willie Rosario Orchestra where he recorded six albums.
Santa Rosa then signed with Ralph Cartagena's Combo Records. In 1986, he debuted on Good Vibrations fronting his own salsa orquesta. After releasing three more albums on Combo, including "De Amor y Salsa", he switched to CBS Records and issued the chart-topping salsa romantica set Punto De Vista in 1990, which went platinum and spawned the smash hits "Vivir Sin Ella" and "Perdoname". Santa Rosa's 1991 CBS/Sony follow-up, Perspectiva, was another monster hit.
Since the mid-80s, the mainstream salsa recording industry in Puerto Rico and the USA has been largely preoccupied with developing and marketing the images of "good looking" young male vocalists, rather than producing solid, stimulating music performed by swinging soneros (improvising salsa singers). Santa Rosa, however, who was one of the first of this new crop of solo singers, is regarded as being amongst the small number who deserve to be called a sonero.
In 1990, Santa Rosa was in the illustrious company of Andy Montañez and Pedro Brull (from Mulenze ), as one of the contemporary soneros assembled by bandleader Don Perignon for his all-star La Puertorriqueña project. In 1990, he won the Billboard Lo Nuestro award for Best Male Singer. He has also performed at New York's prestigious annual salsa festival. But 1990 was an important year in other respects. Santa Rosa made acting debut in the play "La pareja dispareja", where he was joined by Rafo Muñiz and Luis Vigoreaux.
He visited Japan in 1995 as Puerto Rico's musical ambassador and sang one of his songs, "De cara al viento" in Japanese in his effort to bridge the cultural barriers. Since then Santa Rosa's fame reached across borders and continents; commanding recognition as salsa artist in most demand. In 1996 he released yet another smash album Esencia which included hit songs such as No Quiero Nada Regala'o.
Santa Rosa's recent work has not been limited to soloist recordings. He joined other artists in the First President's Festival in the Dominican Republic; Andy Montañez in New York's Lincoln Center, in 1997; and Olga Tañon in the Universal Studios Amphitheater in Holloywood, in 1997.
In 1999, he released Expresión, which reinforced his international fame. The album included the hit song "Que alguien me diga", written by Omar Alfanno, which was at the top of Billboard‘s latin chart for various weeks. The album also included the song Fulana, unlike his well known salsa, demonstrating his wide range of interests and ability. The album was selected as one of the 20 best recordings of the year by the National Foundation Popular Culture of Puerto Rico.
Advertencia
Gilberto Santa Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No abras tu puerta
Alerta corazón
No permitas que vuelva
Acaso ya olvidaste
El dolor que te causo
Que no han cicatrizado
Las heridas que dejo
Yo que te escuché
Palpitar agonizante
Juré no permitir
Que vuelvas a enamorarte
Y hoy te siento nuevamente
Palpitar con emoción
Por el mismo sentimiento
Que un día te destruyo
Que te pasa, te conozco corazón
Tal parece que no aprendes la lección
Es el amor
El que un día te lleva en sus alas
Y siente que subes
Te hace ver que este mundo es perfecto
Que estas en las nubes
No permite pensar en fracaso
No deja que dudes
Luego el amor
Es el mismo que corta esas alas
Y borra ese cielo
Te destruye, te hunde en el lodo
Te arrastra en el suelo
Y se marcha pretende que olvides
Y empieces de nuevo
Que te pasa te conozco corazón
Y no quiero que caigas
En la ilusión
De eso que llaman amor
The lyrics of Gilberto Santa Rosa's song Advertencia are a warning from the singer to his heart to not open the door to love again, as it has caused him immense pain and left wounds that have not healed. He remembers hearing his heart beat agonizingly and promising himself to never let it fall in love again, but now he feels it beating with the same emotion that destroyed it before. Santa Rosa explains that love is what initially takes you on a high and makes you feel like the world is perfect and that failure is not an option, but it is also what cuts your wings off when it ends and leaves you feeling destroyed and helpless.

"Tal parece que no aprendes la leccion
(...) Que te pasa, te conozco corazon
Y no quiero que caigas en la ilusion
De eso que llaman amor"
Willis Enrique
El que no arriesga ni gana ni pierde , vivir es arriesgar , todo es el punto de vista como vidas la vida , disfruten , vivan , amen , juntese, separese, vuelva a unirse , sin rencor , ame , sea feliz , llore cuandontenga que hacerlo y continúe, caiga, levántese. De eso se trata
