Latin vocalist, percussionist, and songwriter Anthony Almonte has shared new single “Imagínate Conmigo” across digital platforms. The track also features Venezuelan vocalist Ronald Borjas.
The release launches the album pre-order for Almonte’s debut full-length Conversando Con La Luna, out May 15, 2026 via Wicked Cool Records. It’s a project that “blends the rhythmic traditions of salsa with contemporary Pop and Rock influences.”
Conversando Con La Luna is a personal collection that “explores Almonte’s Latin roots while embracing a wide musical palette.” The record “reflects on the full spectrum of love—from exhilaration to vulnerability—and the fear of becoming ‘too in love.’”
Conceptually, the album “traces a journey of personal transformation, following a protagonist shedding an older version of himself while stepping into the uncertainty of what lies ahead.”
Central to the album’s sound is co-producer and pianist Jonathan Montes, whose arrangements help shape its musical landscape.
The album features an significant lineup of collaborators spanning multiple generations of Latin and Rock music, including Stevie Van Zandt on “Caminando,” Cuban trumpeter and vocalist Alexander Abreu on “Rompecorazones,” Venezuelan Ronald Borjas on “Imagínate Conmigo,” and pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba on “Como Dejar De Quererte.” Additional appearances include salsa icon Gilberto Santa Rosa alongside musicians Marc Quiñones, Charlie Giordano, Jeremy Bosch, and Carlos Henriquez.
Stevie Van Zandt says:
Finally, the world will get to experience the full range of Anthony’s multiple talents. Something we’ve known about in the Disciples of Soul and the E-Street Band for quite a while now. We are proud to welcome him to the Wicked Cool Family.
Beyond his solo work, Almonte has built an extensive résumé as a touring and session musician. He is currently touring with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and previously spent several years on the road with Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. His recording credits include work with Little Johnny Rivero, Edwin Bonilla, Carlos Henriquez, and Real Women Have Curves: The Musical, among many others.
