Julio Sabala
Julio César Sabala De Jesús, (born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) better known as Julio Sabala[1] is a Dominican impersonator, comedian, singer, and actor. He is of Dominican origin, Spanish by adoption and universal by his art. He has become, thanks to the magic of his great talent, the best-known Showman and valued artist of the Hispanic world, with a career spanning more than 30 years of multifaceted artistic and professional life.
For his meritorious feats within the genre that he dominates, the imitation and impersonations of stars, he has been proposed to venture into the famous Guinness Book of Records, not only in one but in two categories:
1- For being able to become the biggest number of known music icons, both Latin and Anglos, (around 50), in the shortest amount of time, (in just one minute and a half), without losing continuity in their representations, something that he was able to demonstrate in the tests carried out before the representatives of the mentioned book or entity.
2- For being the only artist who has taken the genre of impersonation to the largest number of important stages in the world, using this activity as the central axis of a show, something that has never been done in such a way or magnitude.
Several facets converge in him:
- That of the person and the celebrity,
- The artist and the creative,
- The visionary businessman and the executive,
-And that of the social and solidarity activist.
