CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Spanish Harlem Orchestra has only been performing together since the year 2000, but this baker's dozen of musicians and vocalists swings as if it's been around for decades. That cohesiveness is at full-throttle on Across 110th St, SHO's second release and the follow-up to 2002's Grammy nominated Un Gran Dia en el Barrio. The group mixes classic salsa covers ("Cuando Te Vea, Esperame en el Cielo") with original compositions, and it makes for an unbroken flow of precise musicianship and sweltering instrumental interludes. The legendary Ruben Blades tackles singing duties on four tracks, which gives Across 110th St much of its commercial heft. Equally commendable, though, are the vocal stylings of regular SHO members Ray De La Paz, Marco Bermudez and Willie Torres. Everyone gets a chance to shine on Across 110th St--a very good thing for fans of great salsa music. --Joey Guerra Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsFinally, a band that has kept the "big band" in Salsa Veronika's boyfriend | 09/19/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Many new bands today have taken the "big band" out of salsa today. However the "big band sound" in addition to the percussion, is what makes Salsa so exciting. This exciting release from the exellent SHO features tight arrangements, reminiscent of the 50's mambo bands, with a touch of modern, featuring some great jazz solos too. Exciting and fun to salsa dance to, or listen to!!! Great CD!!!" Big Band swing is still meaningful Hector Reyes-erazo | 01/13/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Rey, this is the one you'll need to start Diego and Pablo on the path to fine NY salsa. Maestro Rubén Blades starts your Saturday morning with a sound reminder of how much El Barrio means to its denizens: Un Gran Día en El Barrio. North of 110th West or East, you choose, the effect will be the same: alegría, comida y mucho meneo. Nothing surprising or new to you lovers of Cuban music other than a street polished urban side to the Son. You can close your eyes and see the turned palms of La Palma Real, el arcoiris of push cart of piraguas, raspado or rasco rasco, or hear el guaguancó in neighborhood parks or Sundays at Orchard Beach. The CD is a notable example of what we in New York came to understand Cuban music to be. Since Buena Vista, we have arrived at a deeper understanding of styles and complex rhythmic patterns. Like the previous outing, leader Oscar Hernández takes us across town to sample New York Salsa; faithful to Cuban rumba and New York's polished bands. There are plenty of rhythms and lead vocals to enjoy a mini tour of great salsa. A great CD to be placed alongside the best sounds arriving from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia."
