Spanish Harlem Orchestra Concert Tickets

Led by world famous pianist and arranger Oscar Hernandez, with outstanding performances by such singers as Ray De La Paz, Hermán Olivera, Frankie Vazquez and musicians such as Ruben Rodriguez and Bobby Allende, this album is a long-overdue missing link to the music and history of Spanish Harlem. This album does not celebrate the famous figures of Salsa: rather, it is a glimpse inside the secret history of the Nuyorican experience.

Let's skip right ahead to the final song on the Spanish Harlem Orchestra's new self-titled album: "You and the Night and the Music" is a standard, written by Arthur Schwartz in 1934, that has been interpreted by all manner of artists from Frank Sinatra to Sun Ra. Only the second English-language song to be recorded by the Grammy-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra, it gets a sparkling uptempo treatment here, aided by exhilarating solos from saxophonist Joe Lovano and Chick Corea guesting on piano...

Salsa band Spanish Harlem Orchestra has truly surpassed their past work with their fourth album "Viva La Tradicioin" ("Long Live Tradition"). The four year gap between this album and the third one is richly compensated by the great Latin sounds, which are heavily leaned on celebrating the rich tradition of Salsa music.

United We Swing (Six Degrees, 2007) The Spanish Harlem Orchestra is one of the finest salsa and Latin jazz bands in the United States. Its fiery sound, combining fiery brass, a powerful rhythm section, and up to three excellent vocalists, has made it into the top heir to the New York salsa sound. Spanish Harlem Orchestra creates a big band sound, exploring traditional Cuban genres such as son, guaracha, and cha cha cha. Nine of the songs are original compositions...

United We Swing is the third release from the thirteen-member Spanish Harlem Orchestra, led by Ruben Blades' piano player, Oscar Hernandez, the world-renowned arranger and producer who has worked with everyone from Celia Cruz and Ray Barretto to Kirsty MacColl and Paul Simon (who guests on this album's final track). If the album largely sticks to template of the previous releases, then this is no criticism, as it could hardly be improved upon...

Salsa may have its origins in Puerto Rico, Cuba and Latin America, but it was forged in New York City and that at least is where its heart survives. The lifeblood comes from the Spanish Harlem district and right in itscentre is 100 St. Below that is Tito Puente Blvd...

With the establishment of Spanish Harlem Orchestra in 2000, New York old-school salsa experienced an innovative and exciting revival. Basing their sound on the "salsa dura" or heavy salsa that permeated New York City's Eastside El Barrio community in the 1960s and the 1970s, Oscar Hernndez and his 13-member ensemble not only continue a tradition that proved important to the El Barrio community, but they also invest older roots with new meaning by shifting the classical into the contemporary.
