Move Over Macarena... San Francisco, CA - This is Pacific Mambo Orchestra’s first international video and single release since the San Francisco Bay Area sensation nabbed the 2013 Grammy Award® for Best Tropical Latin Album.Pacific Mambo Dance is an infectious, get-off-your-feet group dance anthem that’s destined to become a new club classic and will be available digitally worldwide on March 3rd, 2015. The video is a lush Latin dream that opens with joyously teasing instrumentals (among them, co-leaders Christian Tumalan on piano and Steffen Kuehn on trumpet), then slides into hypnotic lyrics from vocalists Armando Cordoba and Alexa W. Morales (channeling a retro crooner during some breakout swing), and is peppered throughout with sultry Latin dance moves. While all this is going on, vibrant backdrops evoke the lush 4 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 colors of the tropics -- with a little Grammy-inspired gold thrown in for good measure. The single and video is an audio and visual fiesta for salsa dancers and lovers alike. 2013 GRAMMY® Winner the Pacific Mambo Orchestra (aka the PMO) is a 20 piece musical group leading the rebirth of the Latin Big Band Sound. The PMO uses the traditions of the classic mambo-craze orchestras of the 1950s to deliver their original music and clever, modern arrangements of hit songs. Currently the only fully active Latin Big Band on the West Coast of the United States, this elite group of the Bay Area’s finest musicians performs in both English and Spanish, and even some French and Portuguese selections. International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 5 REVIEW PMO’s sizzling, self-titled debut record honors the sounds of the great Latin Big Bands of the 1940’s through 1960’s, including Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez, while infusing them with an intoxicating new energy. Richly textured arrangements flow through the entire production, with exquisite playing by ace musicians. With a repertoire of mostly original scores, the selections move in a frenetic pace, pulsing with the sounds, rhythms and beats that only a true Big Band is capable of producing. Their GRAMMY® award crowned the PMO’s first national tour of Performing Art Centers in the US. The tour featured Tito Puente Jr. and was received with great acclaim by fans and critics alike. Their musical numbers span many Latin genres such as Salsa, Mambo, Latin Jazz, Cha Cha Cha, along with a fusion of sounds that incorporate more modern genres (R&B, Hip Hop). The show also pays tribute to the pioneers of the classic Mambo Orchestras, all while paving the way to a bold 6 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 new sound designed to reach the next generation of Big Band listeners. Also a great honor to the PMO was to be voted BEST BAND of the 2014 Best of the Bay in the San Francisco Guardian Reader’s Poll. This Best of the Bay insert coincided with the last copy ever of the 48 year old newspaper and that issue has become a collector’s item. The PMO is directed by Mexican-born pianist Christian Tumalan and German-born trumpeter Steffen Kuehn, each one a highly skilled and experienced artist in their own right. The band’s instrumentation consists of four Trumpets, four Trombones, five Saxophones, Piano, Bass, Timbales, Congas, Bongos and two lead singers, the lovely Ms. Alexa W. Morales and Armando Cordoba. Powered by a sensational percussion section featuring Venezuelan Timbalero Omar Ledezma Jr., Mexican Conguero Javier Cabanillas and Peruvian Bongo expert Braulio Barrera, the band also showcases savvy im- provisers forged in the region’s most celebrated Latin bands. Tito Puente Jr. says: “My late father, Tito Puente would have been proud of the amazing sound and accomplishments of the exciting Pacific Mambo Orchestra. Hands down some of the best Big Band Mambo music and sounds of today.” About the Pacific Mambo Orchestra’s self-titled debut album: “Oakland’s Surprise: Grammy-Winning Caribbean Sound - Pacific Mambo Orchestra Is Unknown No More” - Larry Rohter, New York Times “Little-Known Pacific Mambo Orchestra Takes Tropical GRAMMY From Marc Anthony” - Judy Cantor-Navas, Billboard For Physical Distribution Inquiries please contact Steffen Franz or Ben Lang at Independent Distribution Collective at 415-292-7007 or via e-mail [email protected] For Digital Distribution Inquiries contact Jerome Forney at IDCDigital at 415-292-7007 or via e-mail [email protected] Press and Radio Inquiries contact Billy James at Glass Onyon PR at 828-350-8158 [email protected] Management: Michael Lazarus [email protected] - 775-230-6501 Booking: Tom Gold at Agency Group [email protected] - 310-385-2800 For more information or Tour Dates visit PMO’s website www.pacificmambo.com International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 7 REVIEW Adrenalina Latina es la meta tangible de su Director Jesús Malpica, lo que comenzó como un deseo se convirtió en un proyecto de vida; tener una orquesta del género salsa.

International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 23 ARTICLE AND FRIENDS CONCERT JAZZ ROOTS- A LARRY ROSEN JAZZ SERIES JAMES KNIGHT CONCERT JANUARY 9 24 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 By: Gayle McGarrity / [email protected] / Gayle McGarrity Photographer: Nick Tomlinson International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 25 ARTICLE When I took up residence in La Habana in August 1981, I was already quite familiar with the Cuban jazz group, Los Irakere. Having lived for many years as both an undergraduate, as well as a graduate student in the San Francisco Bay Area, during which time I visited Cuba on several occasions, I was a devoted fan of many genres of the island’s music. After only a few weeks in the Cuban capital, I went with some fellow students and health professionals from the Instituto de Desarollo de la Salud- affectionately referred to as the IDS: The Institute for Health Development- to what was to become my favorite of all of the capital city’s cabarets- the one at the Hotel Riviera, located along the famous Havana Malecon. It was there that I first became entranced by Arturo Sandoval’s trumpet virtuosity. During my year in Havana, I saw this multi- faceted, multi-Grammy award winning musician play on countless occasions. I also got to know several other members of Los Irakere- the group which evolved out of the Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna- including one who is still my friend here in Miami, internationally acclaimed saxophonist, Carlos Averhoff. As a foreigner, I was permitted, in contrast to the vast majority of Cuban citizens at the time, to travel freely in and out of the island. I often ran into Arturo aboard flights from Havana to Miami. I remember well the first time that we ever spoke. As we both exited the Immigration booth at Miami International Airport, Arturo muttered irritably: “Porque estos Americanos siempre creen que todos nosotros, los cubanos, quieren quedarse en su pais?- Why do these Americans always think that we Cubans all want to stay in their country” Perhaps the now resident of Los Angeles and former resident of Miami sincerely felt that way about “la Yuma”- the United States at the time. However, in 1990, after his wife finally obtained permission from Cuban authorities to join her husband while he was on tour in Europe, the couple requested and swiftly obtained refugee status in the United States. Arturo was born in 1949 in Artemisa, a small town on the outskirts of the Cuban capital. Like my own cousin, the great Jamaican-American jazz singer Carmen McRae, he initially studied Classical music, taking up the trumpet at age 12. Also like Carmen, he soon 26 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 became drawn, however, into the exciting world of Jazz, adding the piano, flugelhorn and percussion instruments to his musical repertoire. Although he still often plays internationally with Classical Symphony orchestras, at his recent concert at the James Knight Theater in Miami, he was firmly in both a Jazz and, specifically a Cuban Jazz groove. I had previously heard that Arturo rarely misses an opportunity to publicly acknowledge his debt, as well as his deep sense of gratitude to Dizzy Gillespie. I knew also that, in 1977, he had forced his way, uninvited, on board a yacht docked off the Cuban coast, on which Dizzy, along with Stan Getz, were special guests, in 1977. These two giants of jazz were to become a perfect combo. African- American Dizzy was a huge fan of Cuban music while Arturo was, and remains to this day, enamored of American jazz. He had already spent four months in a Cuban jail for listening to U.S. jazz radio stations- then a crime under Cuban law- late at night, while serving his obligatory military service. By: Gayle McGarrity / [email protected] / While Arturo’s English remains rudimentary and Dizzie never spoke much Spanish at all, they communicated perfectly through the eloquent international medium of Jazz. Following his initial meeting with Arturo, Dizzy was relentless in his efforts to bring his new friend and protégé, whom he recognized as having tremendous potential, to the United States. These efforts culminated in 1990, when Dizzy escorted his disciple into the U.S. Embassy in Greece. One of Arturo’s most recent albums is dedicated to his friend and mentor, and is entitled: “Dear Diz, Every day I think of you!” Shortly after gaining the cooperation of U.S. Embassy officials in Athens, this dynamic and versatile musician was well on his way to being both a U.S. citizen, as well as an international super star. Gayle McGarrity However, despite valiant efforts to provide first class jazz six nights a week, and to the great disappointment of South Florida jazz devotees, the club closed its doors after less than two years. Shortly afterwards, Arturo and his family relocated to Los Angeles. During the Arturo Sandoval and Friends Concert at the James Knight Theater, however, Arturo exhibited not only his commitment to the past, but also his devotion to innovation and to the younger generation. Joining him were 3 close friends: In 2006, Arturo made a concerted effort to capture the energy of the many jazz devotees who are Miami residents by opening up a jazz club at the historic Deauville Hotel on Miami Beach. I enjoyed many wonderful nights there, listening to international jazz greats. International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 27 ARTICLE A native of Villa Clara in Central Cuba, where he was born in 1963 Amaury became famous when he left Cuba for Mexico, where he lived with his family for many years before relocating to Miami. Like Arturo, he is intensely eclectic Grammy award winner, spreading his brand of traditional Cuban trovadora music around the world. Also like Arturo, he risked imprisonment while doing his compulsory social service in Cuba’s Sierra Maestra by listening in to U.S. music programs. Not only did Amaury develop a deep love for Jazz; he also discovered the hypnotic Reggae sounds of the late Bob Marley. In fact, I often refer to him as the Cuban Bob Marley, although Reggae is not currently part of his musical repertoire, as he not only resembles the man who placed Jamaican music on the map, even more so because of his trademark dreadlocks, but also because of his Soul Rebel attitude and his militant commitment to Social Change and Justice in his homeland. Arturo and Amaury treated their captive audience to a taste of their Jazz “skat-ing” along with their renditions of several traditional Cuban classics. Arturo also reminded us that he is still skillful at popular Cuban dance steps, as he and Amaury transported us musically across the seas to their homeland. 28 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 By: Gayle McGarrity / [email protected] / Gayle McGarrity International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 29 ARTICLE This star of Miami-based Cuban Salsa joined Arturo and Amaury on stage on this historic night in Miami. Although only Arturo explicitly referred to the current political situation in the land of his birth, the fact that this concert took place only a week following the announcement of the “thawing” of relations between the U.S. and Cuban governments- after a freeze of over half a century- gave special meaning to the musical collaboration of four creators of Contemporary Cuban music, all of whom committed to radical political and social change at home. Many consider the youthful- in- appearance Chirino to be the creator of the Miami Sound. He was actually born in 1947 in the Cuban province of Pinar del Rio and often emphasizes his particular attachment to this western section of the island, also the birthplace of Beny More. He became the winner of a Latin Grammy in 2007, and the recipient of the prestigious Latin Grammy Lifetime award. Chirino is also a member of Los Pedro Panthe Peter Pans- the approx. 14,000 Cuban children who left home shortly following the Revolution and were placed in foster homes in Florida by the Catholic Church. At the time, many Cuban parents, including Chirino’s, feared for their children’s fate under Castro’s rule and opted to send their children away for what they believed would be only a very short period of time. Unfortunately, this particular night, Chirino did not sing his poignant hit, in which he describes the trauma of childhood exile, separation from family and adaptation to a totally different culture: “Nuestro 30 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 trauma of childhood exile, separation from fa and adaptation to a totally different culture: “Nu dia viene llegando!- Our day is coming soon! ” He however, treat us to a remarkable rendition of h ways- popular musical depiction of a young cub love for a captivating jinetera rubia- blond cal entitled: “Medias Negras- Black Stockings”.

International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 31 INTERVIEW The vivacious songstress, musician, composer, producer, political activist and talk show host, Albita, whom Arturo introduced to the audience that night as being: “the embodiment of Cuban music”, was the last of Arturo’s invitees to take to the stage. My sole complaint about January’s historic concert at the Knight Theater was that the sometimes controversial, but unfailingly energetic and passionate Albita did not grace the stage for long enough. I first discovered this fiercely patriotic Cuban musical gem when visiting Miami in 1993. This was a period during which there were particularly large numbers of Cubans risking their lives to leave Cuba. Many headed towards the shores of neighboring Jamaica, and several of them introduced me to Albita’s riveting renditions of traditional Cuban folk music. I will never forget finally having the opportunity to see her perform, decked out in immaculate male attire- thus shattering the usual image of the sexily feminine Latina artist, at least on that and on several other occasions. That night, only a few months following her “defection” to La Yuma (colloquial Cuban term for the U.S.) at her concert at an upscale Spanish restaurant in Coral Gables, she was accompanied by a rocking all- female band. The fact that Albita’s band were all mulata- mixed race or neg- 32 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 ra- black provoked more heated discussion am the predominantly white Cuban audience, tha the fact that they were all dressed in male attire Born Albita Rodriguez, to parents who were known proponents of Cuban folk music, Albita on to take Miami by storm.

Over the years, I observed en carne propia-first-hand how this policy directly contributed to the death by drowning of Cubans of all ages and complexions, in the treacherous waters which divide Cuba and Florida. I remember defiantly playing Albita’s music at salsa parties that I regularly hosted at my family home in Kingston, Jamaica, at which both anti- and pro-Castro Cubans often told me that they felt as if they had been transported back to their homeland. I even went so far as to allow Albita’s defiant lyrics to blast at full volume from my hotel room when I visited Santiago de Cuba, during my frequent trips there in the mid-1990s. All Gayle McGarrity the time, the female State security agent, disguised as a maid, listened attentively at the room door, furiously scribbling away. I was, indeed, fortunate to have had the opportunity to enjoy the performances of four of the major proponents of Cuban music- artists who may differ in their individual styles and interpretations, but who are united in their commitment to both keeping the music of their homeland alive, along with bringing the vitality and versatility of ever-evolving Cuban Contemporary music to the world. I only wished that all four of them had been brought back on stage together to conclude the event, but that did not, in any serious way, detract from this being an unforgettable night in Miami. International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 33 REVIEW AVENTURA DANCE CRUISE BREAKS RECORDS AND LOOKS TO THE FUTURE The world’s largest Latin dance cruise announces third full-charter voyage for 2015 AVENTURA DANCE CRUISE MIAMI, FL – January 20, 2015 – Five years, seven cruises, two full-ship charters, and 8,000 people later, the Aventura Dance Cruise (ADC) is on to something big. What started as a dance party for 200 friends on the high seas has evolved into a one-of-a-kind experience attracting more than 2,000 Latin dance lovers and enthusiasts each year, and ADC is proud to be at the helm of this phenomenon.

The Caribbean-bound journey boasted Grammy award-winning recording artists, a plethora of worldclass dance performances, more than 60 dance workshops, two private beach parties on Bahamian isles, themed parties throughout and more than 70 hours of dancing with several interactive performances. It was no surprise that once the ADC sailed back into the Port of Miami following the four-day, three-night extravaganza, guests were lining up to reserve a spot on the 2015 voyage. “We never imagined this kind of response in such a short amount of time,” commented Moshe Rasier, founder of the Aventura Dance Cruise. “We pride ourselves on developing an itinerary that no other cruise can match, providing guests with a never-before-seen array of talent, performances, workshops and round-the-clock party, and its quickly became our trademark.” REVIEW AVENTURA DANCE CRUISE Aventura Dance Cruise has earned its reputation for placing a huge emphasis on assembling a roster of talent that is truly impressive and eclectic mix of top award winning and up-and-coming musical and dance performances to appeal to and the cruise’s various audiences and ages, and ADC 2014 was no exception. On the musical side, passengers were treated to sensational performances by Latin GRAMMY-winning and Billboard Latin chart-topping Venezuelan reggaeton duo Chino y Nacho, Latin GRAMMY-nominated artist Leslie Grace, and legendary crooner José “El Canario” Alberto. ADC also painstakingly invites a remarkable set of dancers that have reached success in movies, television and the world stage. As far as the true star of the cruise, the dancing, guests had the opportunity to watch stars like choreographer Edwin Rivera, the only solo dancer featured in the Marc Anthony/Jennifer Lopez 2006 film, El Cantante; Tito Ortos, one of the most accomplished salsa stars in Puerto Rico, multi-year champions David and Paulina, Karen and Ricardo; and America’s Got Talented semi-finalists. its annual roster. As it stands today, ADC is the only Latin full ship charter, the only Latin dance full ship charter, and the largest Latin (and Latin dance) cruise in the world. “Our crowning achievement is not only giving Latin dance lovers a trip where their passions are celebrated, but in also converting those who are new to Latin dance and perhaps unfamiliar with the genre’s music into bonafide fans who want to return and share the experience with friends and loved ones. It’s all about the connection through dance and music, and what could be more memorable,” added Rasier.

De este material discográfico se desprenden temas como “La salsa la traigo yo”, un tema grabado con su talentoso amigo Leo Rey (El gato) que da nombre a la producción y que es una fusión de salsa, hip hop y guajira. Fue grabado en simultáneo en Lima, Perú y Nueva York, EEUU. “Ya no puedo seguir así”, tema con el que Joseluis inicia las grabaciones de esta aventura salsera hace algunos años con la colaboración de su gran maestro y amigo el señor Aníbal López (El emperador del timbal). Es un material inédito de los últimos trabajos realizados por este gran maestro. Finalmente, “Desde que me enamoré de ti”, un tema romántico en el que se pueden disfrutar su interpretación y el inigualable sabor peruano.

This competition is the result of combining two amazing kinds of arts, writing and dancing. The main purpose of the competition is to explore the mind of a dancer, and giving a chance for all artists to express their feelings towards their ultimate passion, dancing, through words. The “Mind of a dancer” is a deep wide ocean that needs to be discovered by each and every individual on planet Earth. The false stereotype about dancers needs to be broken! 72 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 By: Abir Yassin / Press Specialist / “The Forgotten Writers Foundation” International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 73 COMPETITION How many times per day have you daydreamt and imagined yourself dancing or singing? How many times per week do you actually dance alone or with a partner? What does dancing mean to you! The “Mind of a Dancer” Short Story Competition is about writing a short story where the protagonist is a dancer, and the purpose is to reveal how dancers from different cultures, backgrounds, social classes and genders actually feel, think, and dream. It will be a chance to share their passion and views in life, men, women, fashion, politics, media… etc. The competition can include strippers too as a sort of art and dancing. The aim behind the competition is to break the false stereotype that dancers are just a facade, or a beautiful woman/ man dancing just “looking entertaining and beautiful” or “sexy” or “lustful”, or that dancing is related to body weight, flexibility…etc. We can inspire writers to create new perceptions, and also allow dancers to reveal to the world who they really are, since apparently not everyone understand the language of dancing! Write a 1000-2500 word short story regarding the theme and kindly send it to us on: [email protected]. 74 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: MAY 1, 2015 The competition is open for two age categories (13-18 and 18+). Please while sending your stories include the following: Email Title: Age, Name, Country, Title of the Story. Email Body: Phone Number, Date of Birth, Profession/ Study, Address. The “Mind of a Dancer” Short Story Competition is founded and held by two artists who virtually met by chance and decided to blend their talents to create an inspirational and universal project through their organizations The Forgotten Writers Foundation and Rush Studio of Dance. The two artists are writer Mahmoud Mansi from Egypt and dancer Heather Nesbit Harris from USA. The winning stories from both categories will be published in one book under the name of the award, the authors, and the organizers. The winners will also receive award certificates and will be announced online through www.rushstudioofdance.com Competition Guidelines: http://rushstudioofdance.com/rsd-with-forgotten-writers-foundation-story-writing-competiton/ By: Abir Yassin / Press Specialist / “The Forgotten Writers Foundation” Judging Criteria: Stories will be evaluated within two phases and according to the following criteria: Correct use of language (grammar, spelling…etc). Creativity of the work. Depth of the philosophy within the text. Writing style and dialogues (if there are any). The beginning of the story. Ending of the story and its effect. Construction of characters. The title, and its relation to the text. About the Judges: Judges will be announced soon. About the Organizers: The Forgotten Writers Foundation was founded by Mahmoud Mansi in 2011for the aim of globalizing Egyptian literature and inspiring global art. The “Mind of a Dancer” short story competition is the ninth competition launched by the foundation since 2011 and it is the sixth competition launched in 2014.

International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 85 USA Visit www.tipdi.com/donate-or-sponsor.html MUSIC 10 Los mejores discos de SALSA La salsa no es propiamente un ritmo, sino una mezcla de ritmos fundamentalmente afroantillanos que se fueron amalgamando: el mambo, el son, la guaracha, la bomba, la plena, el bolero, el jazz y la rumba, entre otros. La que sigue a continuación es una lista de los que considero los volúmenes más importantes de mi discoteca particular, en su parte dedicada a la salsa, una colección que he ido formando a lo largo de los años y que hoy ya consta de alrededor de 250 CDs. Como se sabe, la salsa no es propiamente un ritmo, sino una mezcla de ritmos fundamentalmente afroantillanos que se fueron amalgamando: el mambo, el son, la guaracha, la bomba, la plena, el bolero, el jazz y la rumba, entre otros. Fue allá por los años sesenta cuando esta nueva modalidad musical apareció en los barrios latinos de Nueva York, cuando aparecieron músicos jóvenes que se dedicaron a aprovechar un espacio privilegiado para la creación e interpretación musical: la calle, el barrio, de donde deriva su sonido plenamente urbano. De allí salió hacia el mundo, como lo dejan ver las ventas de discos, las giras y el surgimiento de intérpretes en el planeta. Tras una durísima selección, aquí van mis diez discos predilectos de la salsa. 88 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 Por: Ariel Ruiz Mondragón / revistareplicante.com 1. Siembra, Willie Colón y Rubén Blades, Fania Records, 1978 La obra cimera del género, con un par de artistas y músicos en el mejor momento del boom de la salsa. Willie, proveniente del Bronx, niuyorrican, y el panameño Rubén Blades, el principal compositor de la salsa al lado del Tite Curet Alonso. Contiene el más grande clásico salsero, “Pedro Navaja”, una gran historia del cronista Blades, acompañado por una de las mejores orquestas que Colón haya formado en su carrera. Es de esos raros y excepcionales discos (y aquí hablo de todos los tipos de música existentes) que tiene sólo canciones grandes: “Plástico”, “Buscando guayaba”, “Dime”, “Siembra”, “María Lionza” y “Ojos”. Indispensable para el melómano. 2. Live at the Cheetah, Fania All Stars, Fania Records, 1971 Como dice César Miguel Rondón, este disco (más bien, dos discos y una película) grabados en concierto en el salón neoyorquino Cheetah marca el inicio del gran boom de la salsa. Es el gran disco de las Estrellas de Fania, grupo integrado por los líderes y los mejores músicos de diversas orquestas de esa compañía disquera, encabezado por el legendario dominicano Johnny Pacheco, y con un elenco insuperable: Ray Barreto, Larry Harlow, Bobby Valentín, Willie Colón, Yomo Toro, Richie Ray, Roberto Roena, Cheo Feliciano, Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez, Héctor Lavoe, Ismael Miranda, Bobby Cruz, etcétera. Un trabuco musical que pergeñó uno de los principales discos del siglo XX, no me queda duda. A cuarenta años de su grabación, imposible permanecer quieto ante este conjunto de obras maestras: “Descarga Fania All Stars”, “Quítate tú”, “Anacaona”, “Estrellas de Fania”, “Ahora vengo yo, “Ponte duro” y “Macho cimarrón”. International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 89 MUSIC 3. De ti depende (It’s up to you), Héctor Lavoe, Fania Records, 1976 El mayor icono del género: el ponceño Héctor Juan Pérez Martínez, universalmente conocido como Héctor Lavoe, el chico malo de la salsa, El Cantante. La voz de la orquesta de Willie Colón, con quien hizo la mancuerna más explosiva de la música afroantillana de los años setenta. Éste fue su segundo disco como solista, después de que Colón había disuelto su agrupación y se habían separado. Sin embargo, El Malo no dejó sólo a su viejo amigo de Ponce y produjo este disco, al que además hizo algunos arreglos. Temas: “Hacha y machete”, acerca de la amistad que unía a ambos, “Vamos a reír un poco”, el bolero “De ti depende”, “Mentira” y “Tanto como ayer”. Pero hay un tema más que sobresaliente, para mí el segundo mejor de la salsa, un clásico contundente: la gran canción del Tite Curet Alonso, “Periódico de ayer”. Excepcionales la voz y el soneo de Lavoe, formidable y fascinante el arreglo de Colón, quien sobre la base de percusiones típica de la salsa llega a producir un insuperable no diálogo sino triálogo (válganme la expresión) entre trombones, trompetas y violines. Obligatorio quitarse el sombrero y ponerse de pie. 4. Yo soy del son a la salsa, Varios artistas, Universal, 1997 90 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 Banda sonora de un documental que resume la gran trayectoria de la música afroantillana en Estados Unidos que efectivamente va desde el son del Trío Matamoros y el Septeto de Ignacio Piñeiro, hasta Isaac Delgado. Pero trae mucho más, como las percusiones y cantos cubanos del Grupo Yoruba Andabo, canciones de Arsenio Rodríguez (clásico entre los clásicos), Chappotin y la Orquesta de Arcaño, y los monstruos del jazz latino y del mambo: Pérez Prado, Dizzy Gillespie y su orquesta con Chano Pozo (una versión en vivo de “Manteca”, excelente), Machito y sus Afrocubans, así como los Titos, Puente y Rodríguez. Además de otros prolegómenos (Benny Moré, la Sonora Matancera), también hay una muy buena selección de artistas ya propiamente salseros: Eddie Palmieri, Harlow y su orquesta, Oscar D’León, Andy Montañez, la Sonora Ponceña, el Gran Combo y Juan Formell y los Van Van. Muy buen panorama general del camino musical que llevó a la salsa. Por: Ariel Ruiz Mondragón / revistareplicante.com 5. ¡En vivo!, Oscar D’León, Universal, 2000 En concierto en el club Copacabana de Nueva York, el salsero de Venezuela, el mayor (y probablemente único) showman del género. En estudio uno de los mayores soneros, en vivo logra aumentar notablemente el vigor de su orquesta y su capacidad para la improvisación hacen que la adrenalina de la audiencia se multiplique. En este álbum doble reúne muchas de las canciones que lo hacen uno de los mayores salseros: “Llorarás” (tal vez la salsa más tocada en la historia), “Monta mi cabello”, “Calculadora”, “Detalles”, “Hechicera”, “Siéntate ahí” y “Melao de caña”, entre otras. Destacan sus versiones a viejas canciones cubanas, las que renovó de manera asombrosa (la última de las mencionadas es un claro ejemplo) y las mantiene en el candelero. 6. Lo mejor de Joe Arrollo (sic), Joe Arroyo, Discos Fuentes, 2003 Álvaro José Arroyo, el negro Joe, el más bravo y representativo de los salseros colombianos, quien ha agregado a la salsa otras tradiciones, como la cumbia y el porro. Para hacerlo le fue de gran enseñanza militar como cantante en orquestas como Fruko y sus Tesos y los Latin Brothers, las que le quedaron chicas muy pronto. Sus dotes como cantante y compositor las explotó a cabalidad cuando formó su propio grupo, La Verdad. Este disco es una buena recopilación de sus grabaciones de aquel entonces: “Luz Ángela”, “Mundo cruel”, “Yamulemau”, “Patrona de los reclusos” y “Pa’l bailador” constituyen una pequeña muestra de la maestría de Arroyo. Y también contiene su gran joya, una de las diez mejores rolas salsosas de siempre: “Rebelión”. Pa’bravo, el Joe. International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 91 MUSIC 7. Una década, Rubén Blades, Sony, 2003 Desde Panamá, el cronista de la salsa y el músico salsero que más ha experimentado y evolucionado musicalmente sin perder nunca su sabor. Éste es un disco recopilatorio que abarca una tercera etapa de su carrera, tras Fania y sus primeros años en Sony: sus grabaciones de la década de los noventa, en los que publicó excelentes discos como Amor y control y La rosa de los vientos. Un puñado de espléndidas canciones cuyos temas van del amor filial en “Amor y control” hasta la denuncia social y política en “Camaleón”, “Prohibido olvidar”, “Adán García”, y el amor sin más en “Creo en ti” y “Sin querer queriendo”. Todas las canciones en diferentes estilos de salsa que demuestran una riqueza musical notable, cada una con gran calidad en la composición, arreglos e interpretación. Sin pierde. 8. Thirty Years Vol. 1, Sonora Ponceña, Música Latina Internacional, 1985 La Gran Señora de Ponce ha rodado por el mundo durante 56 años, mantenida siempre con grandes estándares de calidad por Enrique Lucca y su hijo Papo, un pianista fenomenal. Es la orquesta más fina del circuito salsero, tan cercana a la tradición cubana de compositores como Arsenio Rodríguez como a la del jazz. Banda que no usa trombones, tiene en Papo Lucca al pianista más dominante de la salsa: en ninguna otra agrupación encuentro que el piano desempeñe un papel tan preponderante y exquisito. En este disco recopilatorio hay una leve pero representativa selección del dilatado periplo rumbero del Gigante del Sur: “Fuego en el 23”, “Yambeque”, “Date cuenta”, “Borinquen”, “Ramona” y “Hasta que se rompa el cuero”, entre otras. De rechupete. 92 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 Por: Ariel Ruiz Mondragón / revistareplicante.com 9. Grandes éxitos SAR, Varios artistas, Max Music, 1997 Durante los años setenta y ochenta el trono indiscutible de las compañías discográficas salseras pertenecía a Fania, aunque hubo otros sellos con artistas de gran valía que a veces han caído en el olvido. Uno de ellos fue SAR, en el que se agruparon músicos que provenían de un mayor apego a la tradición cubana. Ésta es una recopilación de diez temas en las que podemos apreciar a varios de sus artistas: Roberto Torres (“Caballo viejo” y “El tractor amarillo”), la India de Oriente (“El fiel enamorado” y “Canción de la serranía”), Henry Fiol (“Ahora me da pena”) y el violinista Alfredo de la Fe (“Somos los reyes del mundo”), entre otros. Una excelente, aunque breve recopilación. 10. Masterpiece / Obra maestra, Tito Puente y Eddie Palmieri, Universal, 2000 Reunión de un par de viejos maestros de la rumba y el jazz, que en este disco dan una completa lección de lo que es la salsa, entre coqueteos con el tango argentino y la música de mariachi mexicana. En el disco participan muy buenos cantantes, como Oscar D’León, Pete El Conde Rodríguez y Michael Stuart, además de un excelente grupo de músicos. Tal vez la última obra de Puente, en ésta se demuestra que el Rey del Timbal se pudo adaptar muy bien a los cambios de la música afroantillana hasta hacer esta obra con uno de los pianistas más importantes de la salsa y del jazz latino.

Elegant. Sexy. Fun !!! THIS SATURDAY NIGHT USA 110 International Salsa Magazine / Mar 2015 Method One of Four: Mastering the Basics m.wikihow.com/Dance-Salsa Start in the closed dance position. The lead takes his partner’s right hand in his left and places his right hand on her left shoulder blade. The partner should keep her left hand on his right shoulder, with her arm over his. Or start in the hand-in-hand position. The lead has his palms facing upwards, and the partner takes his hands with her palms down. This allows for more freedom of movement. Have good posture. When dancing, you should always keep your spine straight, your chin up and your shoulders back. Your chest should naturally then puff out a bit. Your body should be held with strength at all points.[1] Always look up. Keep your head held up or tilted to look at your partner. Do not look at your feet or your partner’s. Looking at your feet is a dead giveaway that you’re nervous and not sure what you’re doing. Keep your arms bent at a 90 degree angle from the elbows.[2] In this position, your hands are most easily accessible to your partner. Your arm should rest on horizontal plane. Move your hips. Most of the movement in the Salsa comes from the hips, so you will want to keep your hips loose. Don’t be afraid to sway your hips. Even if you’re just moving your foot, know that a slight hip movement goes along with it. If you move your right foot out, your right hip juts out a bit, too. Choose a song that has a 4/4 beat (four beats to the bar) and a fast tempo[2]. You’ll want music that lies somewhere between 160-220 beats per minute.[3] Before you start a song, make sure that you can keep up with the speed and identify the beats for your steps. Count as you listen to the song. If you count out the beats in the music, you will be able to find the Salsa beat and identify which steps go with which beat. If you can’t keep count while you’re listening to the song, it’s best to choose a different one. 4/4 time is counted in 8-counts. You’ll be doing one standard Salsa step in 8 beats.
