Orchestra Biography-Updated-08-04-2018-For Biography of Orchestra Fuego Orchestra Fuego is a Salsa band from Tampa, Florida The group’s sound has maintained the integrity of what is referred to as “Old School Salsa or NYC Salsa”, but with a fresh twist. The blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with Nuyorican flavor sets the dance floor on fire. They perform original songs and some familiar songs with invigorating new arrangements. While the group’s main passion is for Salsa, they also perform a wide variety of other Latin music including Merengue, Bolero, Bachata and Cha-cha. Since their debut in 2014, Orchestra Fuego has ignited all types of dance floors throughout Florida with their upbeat; high energy performances. Their albums have been downloaded from Miami to Denmark and even Singapore.” Orchestra Fuego is one of the most newly sought out Salsa groups in the Tampa Bay, Ocala and Gainesville area in Florida. Event Planner, Nic Kalojiannis, comments, “We are a Country Club that hosts hundreds of special events per year that work with many different types of entertainment. Orchestra Fuego is by far the most entertaining, professional, and crowd pleasing that I have ever witnessed. The excitement from all the guests and the pure enjoyment of everyone is easily seen. I highly recommend Orchestra Fuego to all my clients and have included them on our preferred vendor list.” Nic continues, “Thank you Orchestra Fuego, not only do all the guests always enjoy your music, but myself and staff always look forward to your events.” Twelve-piece Salsa Band 02 Biography of Orchestra Fuego Orchestra Fuego started when Marcus Hernandez, piano player, and lead singer, Luis “Torpedo” Aponte, reunited in Florida several years after moving down from New York. The two performed together in the New York City scene in the late 70’s and 80’s when Salsa was at its peak. Fueled by their mutual interest in Salsa, they started performing together with other members of the original band also living in Florida. “After playing a few gigs,’’ says Marcus, “It became evident early on that the time was ripe to revive the classic Salsa sound.” These seasoned musicians perform in various entertainment venues such as parties, individual and corporate catering events, nightclubs, and restaurants. Their danceable beats bring energy and exciting entertainment to any occasion. An avid Salsa dancer, Fernando Alicea, states, “I’ve been clubbing around Tampa for some time, and I have never seen any band that comes close to Orchestra Fuego. They are hot!” Orchestra Fuego is excited about the enthusiastic fan following in Florida. Their goal is to perform throughout Florida and beyond. “We just want to get out there and share our music,” remarks Marcus. They have three albums, Encendido, Salsa Brava, and their newest, “Quemando La Pista.” Twelve-piece Salsa Band 03 Marcus Hernandez Marcus Hernandez Musical Director and Founder If Salsa music can be one of the DNA molecules, Marcus Hernandez has it in his veins. His love of Salsa led him to learning and playing the piano at a young age. In his early years as a musician, he studied under Oscar Hernandez and Gilberto Colon, and more recently with Victor Romero, an accomplished pianist. Marcus started playing in New York City during the late 70’s when Salsa music was at an all-time high. Marcus formed the Salsa group Fuego ‘77 and played at all top venues that included The Corso, Ipanema, Casa Blanca, Casino 14, and the Copa Cabana just to mention a few. Fuego ‘77 opened for mega Salsa artists such as Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, and Hector LaVoe. Fuego ’77 recorded its first album in 1977 under the Alegre label which was a subsidiary of the famous Fania Records. Marcus composed and arranged eight of the ten songs on the album. In addition, Marcus performed with various popular artists such as Adalberto Santiago and Rafael de Jesus. Though Marcus has been away from performing music while pursuing an accounting career, his passion for Salsa was always simmering, but has recently been ignited by reuniting with former fellow musician Luis “Torpedo” Aponte, inspiring him to form Orchestra Fuego. Creating lively and refreshing arrangements of classic songs, as well as composing his own original music, is what he is most enthusiastic about. “Marcus has developed significantly as a musician and band leader,” comments lead singer, Torpedo. “He has everything needed to make the band successful. He is doing an awesome job and I admire that beyond words.” His passion for music coupled with his professionalism makes him a pleasure to work with. Twelve-piece Salsa Band 04 Luis “Torpedo” Aponte Luis “Torpedo” Aponte Lead Singer Torpedo credits Marcus for his inspiration as a musician. He and Marcus first met when Torpedo relocated from Puerto Rico to New York in the late 70’s. After auditioning, Marcus invited him to be the lead trumpet of his band called Fuego ’77. He recalls, “Marcus believed in me and took me to the studio to record the trumpet for his new album. From that experience, I became so passionate with performing that this was all I wanted to do.” Luis later started singing backup with many bands like Rafy Diaz, Tito Rojas, Marvin Santiago, Junior Toledo, Primi Cruz and many others. Until one-day Pedro Conga invited him to be a part of his band, La Orquesta Internacional. Since then, he’s both played and sung as part of many bands. Torpedo is influenced vocally by Axel Martinez from Pedro Conga’s band and Junior Toledo from Los Compadres. His timing, unique vocal sound, and spontaneous lyrics sets him apart from other singers. His improvisations come from his concentration of the song’s theme and keen observation of what is going on in the room, which makes his audience connected to what he is singing about. He makes it more entertaining by adding his infectious humor and vivacious spirit. When he first heard Marcus also moved to Florida, he was excited to work with him again after many years. Torpedo states, “It was like a party for me. I was so excited about this. He started me into this musical journey,” he adds, “and put me on the map of this wonderful world of music. After working with many artists and developing my skills over the years, it has come full circle now; and at just the right time to be working together again on the same path.” He looks forward to even greater accomplishments with Orchestra Fuego. Twelve-piece Salsa Band 05 Veronica Romero Veronica Romero Singer Veronica Romero was born in Chicago and raised in Puerto Rico. She started her professional career in 1997 as a backup vocalist for renowned artist Cano Estremera. Veronica shared the stage as a backup vocalist with greats like Andy Montañez, Hector Tricoche, Grammy Award Winner Lalo Rodriguez, Ismael Rivera Jr., Richy Ray and Bobby Cruz, Jose Alberto El Canario, Miles Peña, Edgar Joel, Paquito Guzman, Tommy Olivencia Jr., and many more.

She joined Orchestra Fuego in 2016 during an audition for America’s Got Talent and moved from backup vocalist to singer.

  • Que Pasa in La
    FEBRUARY 2011 ISSUE QUÉ PASA IN L.A.? By Rudy Mangual The 2010 holiday season in Los Angeles was a total blast, with celebrations that featured everything from salsa, bachata and flamenco, to disco and reggaetón. Highlights included Los Van Van’s Conga Room performances (on December 15th and 16th) and a New Year’s Eve Party on December 31st, featuring the salsa diva known as India. Costa Azul, a local group led by brothers Freddy and Johnny Crespo returned to Alma del Barrio (L.A.’s number one salsa/Latin jazz program, transmitted through KXLU-FM 88.9 and currently celebrating its 36th anniversary) for a live presentation on Sunday, January 2nd, 2011. Costazul’s performance was enhanced by the participation of guest musicians such as Johnny Polanco, Artie Webb, Arturo Velazco, Joey de León, Papo Rodríguez, Francisco Torres, Ileanna García, Eddie Resto and Dennis Jirón, among others. The broadcast of this live performance was organized by Alma del Barrio DJs Guido Herrera, Rosalba Lara and Lily Regalado, plus guest DJ Allen Geik. The band, powered by four amazing trombones and a solid rhythm section (reforced by Johnny Polanco on tres, Artie Webb on flute, and Freddy and Johnny Crespo on lead vocals) delivered a high-octane set of classic salsa tunes. Standouts included the selections Isla del Encanto, No Critiques, and Mujer Sandunguera. We thank Costazul and all the musicians that were a part of this live event, as well as all the DJs of Alma del Barrio that made it possible. Bobby Matos and his Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble (with special guest Poncho Sánchez) performed at the Radisson Hotel’s Jazz Club in Culver City on Friday, January 15th to an appreciative crowd, while El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico took the stage of the Conga Room on January 27th, continuing a solid live musical beginning of 2011 in the City of Angels.

  • Artarr Press Release Edit 3
    ***For Immediate Release*** Media Contact: Jesse P. Cutler JP Cutler Media 510.338.0881 [email protected] GRAMMY® Award-Winning Doug Beavers Releases New Album Art of the Arrangement Featuring Pedrito Martinez, Ray Santos, Oscar Hernández, Jose Madera, Angel Fernandez, Marty Sheller, Gonzalo Grau, Herman Olivera, Luques Curtis and More! New York, NY -- Tuesday, July 18, 2017 -- On his previous release, 2015’s Titanes del Trombón, the GRAMMY® Award-win- ning Doug Beavers -- as the album’s title suggested -- focused on honoring his fellow trombonists and pioneers such as J.J. John- son, Barry Rogers and Slide Hampton. The recording received universal praise with Jazzwax magazine calling it “absolutely hypnotic” and Latin Jazz Network deeming the release a “precious and significant work.” Publications as prestigious as Downbeat, JAZZIZ and Latino Magazine also joined in the chorus, each providing feature space to this magnificent project that paid tribute to some of the unsung masters of an often underappreciated instrument. At the time of the release of Titanes del Trombón, Beavers took note of the fact that many of the great trombonists of the past were also first-rate arrangers, and that steered him toward the music that now comprises his latest release, Art of the Arrangement (ArtistShare, August 25, 2017). The new collection is an homage to the greatest Latin jazz and salsa arrangers of our time, includ- ing Gil Evans, Ray Santos, Jose Madera, Oscar Hernández, Angel Fernandez, Marty Sheller, and Gonzalo Grau. Through- out the history of Latin jazz, and jazz in general, it’s the arrangers who have shaped the music, and quite often their contributions have been overlooked, or ignored altogether.

  • Rafael Cortijo Audición Mayo
    AMIGOS DEL SON CALI Audición Mayo 6 de 2011 “CORTIJO Y SU COMBO Y VIENTOS MOVIDOS PARA EL BAILADOR” RAFAEL CORTIJO Percusionista, Compositor y Director Fecha de nacimiento: 11 de diciembre de 1928 , Parada 21, Santurce, Puerto Rico Falleció el 3 de octubre de 1982 en Santurce, Puerto Rico En el diccionario de la música afroantillana, el nombre de Rafael Cortijo es sinónimo de leyenda. Una de sus figuras cumbres y más veneradas. Líder de una de las organizaciones rítmicas más admiradas durante la segunda mitad del Siglo 20: Cortijo y Su Combo. Maestro del tambor caribeño. Inspirador de dos generaciones de cultores de la rumba y de los puertorriqueñísimos ritmos de bomba y plena. Este personaje irrepetible, de origen muy humilde, era hijo de Juan Cortijo Clemente y Juana Verdejo, quienes también procrearon a Francisco, Cecilia, Rosa y Gilberto. Contaba 11 años cuando el trompetista Paulino Flores lo introdujo al fascinante universo de la música caribeña enseñándole lo elemental en la ejecu ción del bongó. En lo sucesivo, sin maestro, aprendió a ejecutar el timbal, las tumbadoras – o congas – y algunos acordes en la guitarra. A los 14 emprendió su carrera musical uniéndose, como bongosero, al Conjunto Hermanas Soustache (1943-1944). Posteriormente (1944-1947) figuró en el Conjunto Monterrey, de Monchito Muley y Juan Palm «Mentoquín». Durante el período 1947-1953 trabajó de manera alternada con las orquestas de Frank Madera, Armando Castro, Augusto Coén y Miguelito Miranda, así como con la Son ora Boricua de Daniel Santos y los conjuntos acompañantes de Bobby Capó, Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández y Miguelito Valdés, culminando aquella etapa con el dirigido por el pianista Mario Román en La Riviera Night Club, en el Viejo San Juan.

Salsa’s unprecedented international popularity resulted from the confluence of several distinct social conditions and historical events: the Puerto Rican dilemma of colonial status, the civil rights and black pride movements in the U.S., the Cuban revolution’s promise of upliftment for the lower classes, urban migration, and the need for a Latino alter- native to the hegemony of Anglo rock. In this paper I will argue that salsa’s popularity needs to be understood in terms of a musical sound and a social style that responded effectively to these circumstances, captured beautifully in the film Our Latin Thing. I propose, furthermore, that the colonial dilemma of Puerto Ricans in the island and in New York motivated their creative contributions to salsa, which they experienced as a form expressive liberation and decolonization.

  • “Orgulloso De Mi Caserío Y De Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera a Disser
    “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón By Petra Raquel Rivera A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair Professor Leigh Raiford Professor Joceylne Guilbault Spring 2010 “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón © 2010 By Petra Raquel Rivera Abstract “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair My dissertation examines entanglements of race, place, gender, and class in Puerto Rican reggaetón. Based on ethnographic and archival research in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in New York, New York, I argue that Puerto Rican youth engage with an African diasporic space via their participation in the popular music reggaetón. By African diasporic space, I refer to the process by which local groups incorporate diasporic resources such as cultural practices or icons from other sites in the African diaspora into new expressions of blackness that respond to their localized experiences of racial exclusion. Participation in African diasporic space not only facilitates cultural exchange across different African diasporic sites, but it also exposes local communities in these sites to new understandings and expressions of blackness from other places. As one manifestation of these processes in Puerto Rico, reggaetón refutes the hegemonic construction of Puerto Rican national identity as a “racial democracy.” Similar to countries such as Brazil and Cuba, the discourse of racial democracy in Puerto Rico posits that Puerto Ricans are descendents of European, African, and indigenous ancestors.

  • Salsa Y Sociedad
    MÚSICA Y SOCIEDAD (INT – 151) Estudios Generales Letras Profesor: Jesús A. Cosamalón Aguilar Asistente: José Carlos Rojas Salsa! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWejAsYs1NQ ENFOQUE TEMÁTICO “Mire señora agarre bien su cartera, no conoce este barrio aquí asaltan a cualquiera.” Es uno de los soneos más conocidos de Héctor Lavoe, parte de su interpretación de Calle Luna, Calle Sol. La canción es conocida en muchos países, incluyendo el Perú, a pesar de que la referencia urbana corresponde a la ciudad de San Juan (Puerto Rico). ¿Qué condiciones hacen posible que una producción musical elaborada para un lugar específico sea aceptada fuera de sus fronteras? ¿De qué manera la salsa expresa las características culturales de las poblaciones de América Latina? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que el curso pretende contestar. Para lograr ese objetivo abordaremos los estudios socioculturales que permiten relacionar la producción musical denominada salsa con la sociedad. Estos trabajos señalan la importancia de reconocer los códigos musicales, los intérpretes y el tipo de público que consumía este género musical. Luego pasaremos revista a la historia de la salsa, desde sus raíces en el Caribe hasta su difusión desde Nueva York y el resto de ciudades de América Latina. De este modo intentaremos comprender cómo la salsa expresa diversos contextos históricos comunes a varios países de América Latina: las tensiones de la modernización, las migraciones, la lucha contra la discriminación, la creciente pobreza, la marginalidad, entre otros aspectos. Por medio de esta perspectiva no solo se procura abrir un nuevo camino para entender a las sociedades de América Latina, también se pretende dar relevancia a productos culturales históricamente relegados de los estudios sociales, frecuentemente catalogados de manera inferior por su carácter popular o masivo.
