About Tito Garcia y Su Orquesta International:

Ernesto “Tito” Garcia has been playing music professionally since 1971. During these last 20 or so years he has experienced the incredible and thoroughly inspiring evolution of the West Coast Salsa scene in the Bay Area. “Tito Garcia y su Orquesta Internacional” has taken full advantage of the multi-cultural or “international” array of musicians in this area and thus the name of “Internacional”. “Tito Garcia y su Orquesta Internacional” plays Salsa in the traditional format of the pioneers of this music and adds their own West Coast “tinge”.

Live Salsa Music by La Moderna Tradicional:

From the first note, you’ll want to jump out of your seat. Orquesta La Moderna Tradición transports you to an era of sensual danzones and swinging cha-chas — the music of the Havana social clubs of the 1950s. The only band in the United States that plays this type of danzón and cuban music, the 12-piece ensemble captures the romance and style of a memorable era in Cuban dance music, with a special focus on danzon.

Violins and flutes weave lilting melodies against the backdrop of driving Afro-Cuban rhythms. The orchestra’s repertoire ranges from traditional ballads to the latest salsa and timba grooves with surprising twists: you should hear their spin on the old church tune “Golden Slippers.” As one critic put it: “Imagine a blend of Tito Puente and a tango, and you'll begin to get an idea of the power and beauty of this music.”

Orquesta La Moderna Tradición has performed at some of the most prestigious festivals and venues in the United States, including Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing, San Francisco Jazz Festival, and the Smithsonian Institution — their tours have taken them from Alaska to El Paso and abroad. Their two recordings, “Danzonemos” and “Goza Conmigo”, illustrate the breadth of their talent. Listen to some samples of their music.

Sonora Carruseles Playing live at Roccapulco

With nine albums to it's credit and over twelve years of existence, Columbia's Sonora Carruseles has perfected a trademark sound that is cherished by salsa lovers all over the world. There's some seriously powerful stuff to be found in their music: spidery piano lines, tight polyrhythms, explosive brass riffs, staccato cowbell patterns and impossibly nasal choruses that are just too hard to resist. Sonora Carruseles pays a moving tribute to old, hardcore salsa while at the same time revamping this nearly forgotten classical style.
