SON DEL MONTE Something more than a “Charanga”

It was one of those nights of meeting with friends, those friends with whom you share the same musical preferences among other things, you know, of those gatherings where only you and your friends can spend hours discussing the best songs of Héctor Lavoe or remembering the best hits of the Fania, and in which there is no other way to end the evening than with the deities that brings the good Salsa music from a live band to close the night with a flourish.

And so that was, when with the hours passed we came across one of these charming Latin clubs that fill the streets and every day prevail more in the city of

New York, where, of course, they offered Live Salsa. Eureka! If you allow me to say it ... It was the perfect place to "Echarnos un Pie" (colloquial term that we usually give in some Latin countries when we refer to dance).

Upon entering, the characteristic sound of the band wrapped up the entire venue, no doubt, captivated us. It was the harmony of an orchestra that played the typical Cuban music: "La Charanga", which had its maximum exposure in the 20th century. We were all enthralled or if you want to say “delighted”, it was the mixture of wind instruments with percussion instruments but especially with the string instrument that most caught our attention, the Violin.

When we asked for the name of the orchestra, they told us: "Son del Monte".

It’s the ideal name for an orchestra of 12 Latin musicians who project their virtuosity before an audience eager for Caribbean Music that bathes the senses and awakens the joy of living.

Son Del Monte is a band based in New York City that presents unique tunes from various artists. This orchestra was born from the musical director and timbalero, Manny Rivera whose aspiration was to create a Charanga band with a hard New York sound that paid homage to the orchestras of the 60s, 70s and 80s. "Our music is captivating for the listeners and dancers. Fans from all over the world have come to love Son Del Monte: Una Charanga Con Algo Más and our incredible musical swing", said Manny Rivera.

This band that combines the typical sound of Cuba with the mixture of flute, violins and trombones with three singers that create a distinctive harmony of three parts, have performed in so popular Salsa venues, such as: Maryland Live Casino, the Baltimore´s Latino Festival, the boardwalk of Coney Island, SOB’s, Empire City Casino in Yonkers, Gonzalez y Gonzalez, La Marqueta, the Latina Hats Society, Industry City, Harlem Mist, among other recognized Salsa venues.

The members of this Charanga orchestra with “Sabor” and electrifying sound are: 4

International Salsa Magazine

Mauricio Smith Jr. (Flute), Eric Roberto Salazar and David Rimelis (Violins), Michael Pallas, Juanga Lakunza and Charlie Garcia (Trombones), Eli Rivera (Piano), Bert Castro (Bass), Joe Gonzalez (Conga), Manuel Rivera (Timbales / Musical Director / Leader) and Luis Ayala, Armando Jiménez Sonji and Luis Soto (Singers).

Since the beginning of this year (2019), Son del Monte has been working on their record proposal for the Latin market with unpublished themes, rhythmic and unique sound contemporary. To date they already have two singles: “Rumba Omelenko” and "Vengo de Nueva York" availables in: CD Baby, Deezer, iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.

Likewise, the song "Herman" is in the process of recording. So, get ready

USA / New York / New York

because this Charanga orchestra promises their CD ended with great compositions for the public later this year.

Undeniable, the acceptance of Son del Monte has been so extensive on the part of New Yorkers and all who are Salsa lovers that they were recently awarded with the TANAE Digital Media Award for Band of the Year 2018, giving recognition to an arduous musical performance, but above all of great cultural value that keeps alive our Latin idiosyncrasy.

Manuel Rivera (Musical Director / Manager/ Timbales): Manuel Rivera, have been a professional musician for more than 40 years and now Son Del Monte’s Leader/ Musical Director. His musical career started playing Bongo in a Latin Workshop band which eventually became Orchestra Yambu.

Yambu was known for its Latin Jazz style and Disco Hit "Sunny", his first recording.

Subsequently, I joined the original Charanga Orchestra Sublime of New York City, doubling up on Bongo and Timbales. He recorded on Sublime's first two albums in 1977 and 1979. In 2001, he rejoined Orchestra Sublime now known as “Sonsublime”. Manuel recorded on Sonsublime's Gran Reserva and Bailando Con Sonsublime, their latest CDs. He studied various folkloric rhythms, Bata drums and sight reading at the Harbor's Conservatory of Music in El Barrio in New York City under the guidance of the Master Louie Bauzo. Manuel Rivera has performed with the Bassist: William Millan, of the original Conjunto Saoco, singers: Henry Fiol, Ray Ramos, and Luis Ayala. Also, he performed with Yerason and the MTG All Stars Orchestra under the direction of Hector Leguillow, Joe Quijano at Lincoln Center and other various artists throughout his musical career.

Composiciones éxitos de Mimi Ibarra "Mimi" Ibarra, romántica por excelencia...mujer que tiene la virtud de escribir bello temas dedicados al amor, pero que a su vez considero que era el momento de ofrecerle al público temas con letras románticas pero que a su vez fueran bailables.

Después de darse a conocer como compositora "Mimi" Ibarra, hace realidad su más acariciado sueño...convertirse en intérprete. En la primera producción, los ocho temas son de su inspiración, entre ellos "así", "que tiene ella", "Para Quererte" y "No Puede ser" a dúo con Anthony cruz.

En la segunda producción se escucharon los temas "duele" (a dúo con Tito Rojas), "Te quiero así", "Propiedad Privada".

Estas producciones la han llevado con su música a distintos lugares como Panamá, Colombia, República Dominicana, puerto rico; y ciudades como New York, Houston y los Ángeles, entre otras.

Juguete de nadie – Puerto Rican Power Déjala – Tito Rojas a dúo con Tito Gómez Te propongo – Héctor Rey Te necesito mi amor – Maelo Ruiz Por qué te quiero tanto – Tito Rojas Por esa mujer – Tito Rojas Señora – Tito Rojas También nos duele – Tito Rojas Llorare – Tito Rojas Por qué te niegas – Roberto Roena Compárame – Roberto Lugo Si me dejas amarte – Roberto Lugo No pude evitarlo – Orquesta La Mulenze Cúlpame – Luisito Carrión Tú forma de amar – Pedro Conga Eres la única – Nino Segarra Ganas – Tito Gómez Nunca te falle – Anthony Cruz Dile a el – Anthony Cruz

Ahora, nos presenta su cuarta producción discográfica, con un repertorio muy variado para satisfacer a todos sus seguidores.

Se destaca la bachata "porque te quise tanto" tema que a su vez fue grabado en balada, además "el baile del Tun Tun el cual es un ritmo autóctono de Colombia.

Todos los temas son de la autoría de Mimi Ibarra, arreglos de Rafael "Bodo" Torres, Ramón Sánchez y Julio "Gunda" Merced.

From its humble origins and massive growth – Bringing the best of the world to India – Year after year, the sole purpose of the festival has remained the same – Better the Latin dance scene in India.

Asia / India / Bengaluru

Championships: IIDC has always set the benchmark for championships in Asia. With the most elite of dancers as judges and a separate day for championships, the Asian Open Championship at IIDC is what most dancers aim for. The growth of the championships from 2017 (16 categories and 200 plus competitors) to 2018 (27 Championship Categories!) sets IIDC in the top number of Championships in any Salsa festival in the world!

Social Dancing: IIDC boasts a 12,000 Square foot hall for championships and performances viewing which also doubles as a dance floor for the Salsa room! Along with a separate Sensual room for Bachata and Kizomba – IIDC has the best social dancing experience in the country!

Artists: The artists of IIDC have always been the best in the world, and IIDC boasts of being the first and only festival to get many of the superstars of Latin dancing to India – Eddie Torres, Eddie Torres Jr., Karen y Ricardo, Carine y Raphael, Ronald y Alba, Fernando Sosa, Tarek and Debbie, Isabelle y Felician, Alien Ramirez, Oliver Pineda, Jordan Tatiana and the list goes on!

Performances: IIDC has 3 nights of power packed and entertaining performance nights – featuring the best of both local and international talents. With a trend of having a production night (Usually on Saturday night) – the past few years have been houseful shows with latecomers having difficulty finding seating in our massive auditorium.

Food and extras: With quirky and innovative food stalls and food trucks, to stalls that sell dance shoes, ethnic Indian wear and so on, IIDC has an excellent choice of in-house food and shopping experiences.

Venue: With arguably one of the best properties in Bangalore, and only a few kilometres away from the Airport – Not only do you get to be away from the hustle of the city, but you also have a breathtakingly beautiful venue to enjoy the festival in.

escribir melodías, se sentía feliz haciéndolo y como ella misma lo describe «fue definitivamente un regalo de dios" las canciones que escribía las guardaba. Le compuso algunos temas a un sello disquero de su natal Colombia.
