Salazar El Tabaquero

During a time when urban Latin music is constantly evolving, it takes an artist of extraordinary talent to effectively break barriers and set a new standard for Latin Hip Hop. Salazar’s music not only possesses commanding and intoxicating beats, but has an original and advanced lyrical style that few others have been able to match.

Jose Pablo Salazar, a.k.a. SALAZAR, was born in Miami, Florida. The son of a professional Cuban baseball player who also wrote music and poetry, Salazar’s initial childhood dream was to play professional baseball. After being exposed to musicians and the art of expression through writing, Salazar developed a deep interest and love for music. Realizing music was his life project; he began associating with professional artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:3FgR6lfwIY7VD2lDryeh1e" data-name="Mexicano 777">Mexicano 777</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:545Dedst0YBWzjiyKMMVCH" data-name="Notch">Notch</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:6lYSDSFhJyUV6CtNix2fBA" data-name="Al2 El Aldeano">Al2 El Aldeano</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:19MNIbED5OlB4TxiAYStlH" data-name="Tony Touch">Tony Touch</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:1aX0EPDBHAej59ShDKPmlc" data-name="Tyson El Dominicano">Tyson El Dominicano</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:4AX0I32V6XRGh9aRv7wj2h" data-name="Locos Por Juana">Locos Por Juana</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:6n3RW5EEJ9Ht8etv9lENqj" data-name="TeV95">TeV95</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:29LK3hqrdu5hDjPSK9D8NW" data-name="Lck Bardi">Lck Bardi</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7LZh25Zo1K048ADXiHMVUo" data-name="El Mike">El Mike</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7zXRgSpjJkQmB9SnPLq1Qk" data-name="Crack Family">Crack Family</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:4otKDQdMIMEKTdZhh4ihql" data-name="Cejaz Negraz">Cejaz Negraz</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:2OnH4HpywAxWkSOEsyjdjn" data-name="Morodo">Morodo</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:4pr7J7wzgObkE3DD3Izi7q" data-name="Young Buck">Young Buck</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:0w57qOEVTcqs0bLyFJ7Q52" data-name="Angel Lopez">Angel Lopez</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:6MwzJa1BoTAOrDOzm8JAcw" data-name="Chief Eli">Chief Eli</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0WMu6imcnoYsDBedDMFVR6" data-name="Chucky Greenlight">Chucky Greenlight</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7qBTMGNM92G1mcK10q1oVw" data-name="Cistychov">Cistychov</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:36HexEOMIM1pMkcoXMFD7u" data-name="Shottie">Shottie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4sZDCZVEpJPYgape9CYhme" data-name="Warlok">Warlok</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6nRkKmsfr4O8HDysMWBISi" data-name="Omniscient">Omniscient</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0UIH8WpxS8c1ZSJysYHe0K" data-name="Silvito El Libre">Silvito El Libre</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0TnOYISbd1XYRBk9myaseg" data-name="Pitbull">Pitbull</a> &amp;amp; <a href="spotify:artist:0AaeA0bBuFyAWdJ2W6597x" data-name="Jean Rodriguez">Jean Rodriguez</a> , His style unexpectedly flipped from English to Spanish on a verse written just to mess around. As if by fate, it all seemed to fit together.

As he continued to pursue his artist development, Salazar was noticed by several top A&amp;amp;Rs with Sony Latino in Miami. Salazar was selected to be a part of a compilation Spanish hip-hop album to debut in the U.S (April 26, 2005).
