Born and raised in New York to the rhythm of the trumpet, the double bass, and the congas, Marc Anthony is the Puerto Rican music sensation who revolutionized the salsa genre. From his beginnings as a backup vocalist to becoming a global icon, we uncover how he made salsa a universal sound and how all those Grammys would lead to love.

Lilliana Vázquez and Joseph Carrillo are the hosts of Becoming an Icon with production support by Josie Meléndez, Daniela Sarquis, and Santiago Sierra of Sonoro Media in partnership with iHeart Radio's My Cultura Podcast network. If you want to support the podcast, please rate and review our show.
