 \n\n Oct. 16\, 2012 &ndash\; Known for his smooth vocals and fiery dance m
 oves\, Nicaraguan singer-songwriter Luis Enrique&mdash\;'the Prince of Sal
 sa'&mdash\;is one of Latin music's first pioneers of the romantic 'salsa s
 ensual' style. Backed by a large student ensemble\, the Grammy- and Latin 
 Grammy Award-winning artist will perform some of his biggest hits at Berkl
 ee College of Music on Nov. 8.\nLuis Enrique Meets Berklee is part of Berk
 lee's Signature Music Series and Latin Music and Culture Celebration. It t
 akes place on Thursday\, Nov. 8\, 8:15 p.m. at the Berklee Performance Cen
 ter (BPC)\, 136 Massachusetts Avenue\, Boston. Tickets are reserved seatin

 venue is wheelchair-accessible. The concert is produced by bass professor 
 Oscar Stagnaro\, with Matthew Nicholl\, Berklee's chair of contemporary wr
 iting and production\, serving musical director.\nLuis Enrique pioneered a
  smooth\, emotive brand of salsa that paved the way for other successful L
 atin pop artists\, such as Marc Anthony and Victor Manuelle. A native of M
 anagua\, Nicaragua\, he immigrated to Los Angeles in 1978. Inspired by Ame
 rican jazz and R&B\, and excited to grow musically\, he began incorporatin
 g new sounds into his music. After an audition for a local salsa group\, h
 e made such an impression on the band's producers that they took him into 
 a studio to record a demo. That recording led to a deal with Sony in 1987 
 for the release of his debut album Amor de Media Noche.\nAfter establishin
 g himself as one of the most successful and influential artists in salsa\,
  Luis Enrique took a nine-year recording hiatus. He returned to the forefr
 ont of Latin American music with the release of the 2009 album Ciclos and 
 last year's Soy Y Sere\, which received a 2012 Latin Grammy nomination for
  Best Salsa Album. His sizable discography has earned him a Grammy Award\,
  two Latin Grammy Awards\, five Lo Nuestro Awards\, four Latin Billboard A
 wards\, as well as several gold and platinum records.\nLuis Enrique has al
 so become a forceful figure in the struggle for immigrant rights. He recen
 tly participated in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute\, where he
  had the opportunity to meet President Obama\, and express his thoughts on
  the Dream Act and the importance of immigration reform.\nFor more informa
