Before Romeo Santos was a solo sensation there was Linar Espinal. In 1993, the Dominican singer known as “El Chaval de la Bachata” began his career as a teen and released a steady stream of albums all the way through 2007, when he dropped his greatest hits album, Su Mejors Exitos. He brings all that history (plus a 2008 megahit “Donde Estan Esos Amigos”) to this Carrollwood-area nightclub on Friday.
El Chaval. Fr. Aug. 24, 9 p.m. $10-$30. Whiskey North, 11921 North Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa. eventbrite.es.
