The Spanish Harlem Orchestra channels the vintage salsa sounds of El Barrio in the 1960s and '70s with full-bodied big band style, vocals by turns suave and soaring, and crisp new arrangements of classic repertoire. With intoxicating grooves and dazzling improvisational prowess, Hernandez's band performs an exhilarating program of rumbas, cha-cha-chas, mambos, son montunos, and other styles from the golden era of Latin dance music.

“Our music style is the original sound of New York old school "Salsa dura" (heavy salsa) that was played in the early years by our pioneers,” says Oscar.  “That sound has been lost and we want to keep it alive while educating the new generations (and music lovers in general) on the true musical roots of our culture.” Oscar adds, “we’ve brought back the essence of what makes this music great and are keeping the salsa spirit alive in our recordings and shows.”
