Answer 2

This is Victor Manuelle from Puerto Rico, though he was born in New York.
Victor Manuelle a.k.a. The Youth's Son Singer a.k.a. Binky, is a salsa/son-singer who was discovered by Gilberto Santa Rosa. He is identified primarily with salsa monga (salsa romantica), but has experienced with lots of other styles, from vallenato to reggaeton. What sets him apart from all the others is his skill of improvisation.
He has recorded songs with many other musicians/friends, amongst which Gilberto Santa Rosa and Jorge Celedon.
Victor Manuelle is one of the few salsa singers that has managed to dominate every Billboard Latin chart.

Here's a tribute to Jose Jose (Lo que no fue no sera) sung with his brother,

and here's a duet with Jorge Celedon. This clip was made in my beloved Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
