Music Scene
From really good food at Latin bistros like "Ideya" on West Broadway in Soho, to Weds night salsa at "Joe's Pub" in the Public Theater Building on Lafayette St., Latin culture has been making a big impact on the scene today, and an integral part of that culture is its music. Now
remember the following albums are all organic, (real
musicians) recorded on analog equipment & pressed
onto vinyl. The music puts emphasis on the musicians
as a whole unlike in todays music scene where everybody
seems to have contracted "L.V." (Lead vocalist)
syndrome, not much is put into the solo's and the
groove.
Artist:
Celia Cruz If you dig Latin Jazz and the roots of salsa this is a record that should be in your music library, provided you can score a copy.
Artist:
Ray Barretto The
madman on congas Ray Barretto and his Charanga Orchestra.
Before "SALSA" there was "PACHANGA"
and the bands were called "CHARANGA BANDS".
Artist:
Lebron Brothers Orchestra Never
a dull moment from this tight little band from start
to finish.
Artist:
Various The
Godfather of Salsa Jerry Masucci founder of Fania
records put together these two albums. Salsa at it's
best. Musicians from the late fifties and thru the
sixties have reached thier prime and the music say's
it all!!!! Artist like Tito Puente, Ray Barretto,
Willie Colon, Johnny Pacheco to name a few.....
