Víctor Manuel Ruiz Velázquez, better known as Víctor Manuelle, is a Puerto Rican-American singer whose career has flourished mainly in salsa, with ventures into bolero and romantic ballads. Debuting in 1993 with Justo a Tiempo, he has since released 19 more albums, selling over 10 million copies and earning the title “Sonero de la Juventud.”
With multiple Billboard chart-toppers and numerous awards, he is known for hits like “Por Ella” and for blending traditional salsa with contemporary elements. His albums, including A Pesar de Todo, Ironías, Me Llamaré Tuyo, and Que Suenen los Tambores, have showcased both romantic themes and personal stories, such as a tribute to his hometown and a heartfelt song about his father’s battle with Alzheimer’s, solidifying his impact on Latin music worldwide.
“Si Volviera Jesús,” Víctor Manuelle envisions how today’s world would receive the Messiah, warning that He would once again be rejected, manipulated, and judged by political and economic interests, just as in the past. With a powerful performance, he blends social critique and faith, reminding us that despite betrayal and disbelief, His promise to return remains alive, bringing justice and hope.
