Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery & Johnny Cruz: Viva la Salsa!

A PRIVATE COLLECTION THAT WAS BUILT OVER FOUR DECADES HAS OPENED ITS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC IN EL BARRIO, NEW YORK, BECOMING THE ONLY PERMANENT EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO SALSA AND ITS HERITAGE

With the magic and passion of Johnny Cruz as host, Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery opened its doors to the New York community and the world a year ago, after 5 years of starting as a private gallery for an exclusive audience.

MUST SHARE THE GOOD THINGS

The initiative to bring the VIP experience to more people was conceived by Johnny Cruz to realize the positive impact that the gallery would have on the community of El Barrio and the way in which, through it, he could get more involved with schools from the neighborhood. The goal is to continue teaching children and adults the history of Latin music and show them how music is part of history and culture, and how it’s also part of El Barrio.

04

Cruz hopes to tell the story of each element of the gallery to anyone who wants to listen, and continue to increase the collection with donations from the stars of Latin music. Anyone interested in the history of music can learn something new and continue to share this information with other people so that the successes of these artists are never forgotten and kept alive in the collective memory.

In this extraordinary place are exhibited 40 years of music, experiences and memories that now everyone can relive and consequently know the history behind each instrument, behind each object that rests in this immaculate space and carefully organized by Cruz.

The collection includes instruments, pictures, newspapers, clothing and several gadgets donated by great musicians of Latin music.

CARMEN AULAR NOTA EDITORIAL

In the near future, they hope to carry the information from the gallery to schools and universities in New York.

In addition, they are working to collect resources to expand the collection and preserve exposure in the best and safest way possible, and become a source of employment for the community WHAT AWAITS YOU AT SPAHA SALSA GALLERY?

IAt 1708 Lexington Ave NYC, you can find a wide variety of instruments, costumes, and other items from top artists of Latin music. One of the pieces of more recent data is the costume used by Sophy from Puerto Rico, in the tribute concert to Rafael Hernández at the Center for Fine Arts of Puerto Rico.

The great Eric Vélez supported the gallery by donating the congas that are in the permanent exhibition. You can also appreciate the tuxedo that Adalberto Santiago used in his 55th anniversary concert and a Bobby Cruz costume. A piece that you definitely have to watch is the colorful and vibrant Celia Cruz’s dress. Mike Rodriguez donated his güiro, maracas and tamboril. Willie Álvarez's trombone also rests in this exposition.

Tourists and locals can learn about the history of objects belonging to musicians of La Fania All Stars or La Sonora Ponceña, the shoes of Héctor Casanova perched on the congas of Eddie Montalvo and numerous pieces full of anecdotes that will always, very gladly, share their host. The commitment of the gallery, and Johnny Cruz, is reaffirmed every day with donations of great glories that have a single purpose: to keep the music alive.

05

CARMEN AULAR NOTA EDITORIAL

Soon, you will have access to the membership of the SpaHa Salsa Gallery, with which you will get information about the events before the general public and discounts in a wide network of restaurants in town, among other benefits, as a way to promote the gallery and obtain funds for its expansion and maintenance.

Within the gallery's events programming for this month is Pablito Rosario and Cachete Maldonado's visit, a celebration for Governor Andrew Cuomo for his triumph in the primaries vote in the state of New York, and another for Assemblyman Roberto RodrĂ­guez, who has the support of the Latino community in the area where SpaHa Salsa Gallery lives.

Moreover, Nicky Marrero, musician of the Fania All Stars, will donate the timbales he used recently in a tribute to Celia Cruz, so you can meet him in the gallery; on that day, he will be signing the instrument to formally deliver it to the collection.

06

The gallery is open to the public from Wednesday to Friday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm at 1708 Lexington Ave. NY 10029 (El Barrio).

ABOUT THE PRECURSOR OF THE INITIATIVE

Johnny Cruz has a history of 40 years in the world of Latin music, during which he has been collecting musical instruments. In the last 5 years he created Spaha Salsa Gallery in El Barrio in New York City and a year ago he shares it with friends, contacts, tourists and the community.

He has been a percussionist for the last 40 years and is passionate about music, singing it, producing it, composing it, telling it, living it today and keeping it alive forever. He has worked closely with some of the most outstanding Latin musicians in the business throughout his career and has been honored with a variety of awards over the years.

At this time, he produces a public access television program for mnn.org called The Windows of Latin America. The program has been on the air weekly for 20 years, and it is the only TV space in New York where salsa is broadcast.

In a few days he will be premiering a collaborative production with Adalberto Santiago, with songs that recap his musical career of more than six decades and have the admiration and gratitude of Cruz.

Within the framework of this launch, there will be an event in which great Latin music personalities will meet again at the Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery to share a fun time with fans and friends.

Since the beginning of this trip, his desire has been to create a space for the community. Sharing these artifacts is their way of giving back to a community that they have had the pleasure of being part of for many years, a bit of their culture and their heritage for the world.

08

Con la magia y la pasión de Johnny Cruz como anfitrión, Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery abrió sus puertas a la comunidad neoyorquina, y del mundo, hace poco más de un año, tras 5 años de iniciarse como galería privada para un público exclusivo.

En este extraordinario lugar están exhibidos 40 años de música, vivencias y recuerdos que ahora todos pueden revivir y así conocer la historia detrás de cada instrumento, detrás de cada artefacto que reposa en este recinto inmaculado y cuidadosamente organizado por Cruz. La colección incluye instrumentos, fotografías, periódicos, indumentaria y un sinfín de artilugios donados por grandes músicos de la música latina.

La iniciativa de llevar la experiencia VIP a más personas fue concebida por Johnny Cruz al darse cuenta del impacto positivo que la galería tendría en la comunidad de El Barrio y la forma en la que, a través de ésta, él podría involucrarse más con las escuelas del vecindario. El objetivo es continuar enseñando a niños y adultos la historia de la música latina y mostrarles cómo la música es parte de la historia y la cultura, y cómo también forma parte de El Barrio.

Cruz espera contar la historia de cada elemento de la galería a todo aquel que quiera escuchar, y continuar incrementando la colección con donativos de las estrellas de la música latina. Cualquier persona interesada en la historia de la música puede aprender algo nuevo y continuar compartiendo esta información con otras personas para que nunca se olviden los logros de estos artistas y se conserven vivos en la memoria colectiva.

En un futuro no muy lejano, se espera poder llevar la información de la galería a escuelas y universidades de Nueva York. Además, se busca recolectar fondos para poder ampliar la colección y conservar la exposición de la mejor y más segura forma posible, y convertirse en una fuente de empleo para la comunidad.

El gran Eric Vélez apoyó la galería al donar las congas que se encuentran en exhibición permanente. También se puede observar el tuxedo que usó Adalberto Santiago en su concierto 55 aniversario y un traje de Bobby Cruz.

Una pieza que no pasa inadvertida de ninguna forma es, definitivamente, el colorido y vibrante vestido de Celia Cruz. Mike Rodríguez donó su güiro, maracas y tamborín. El trombón de Willie Álvarez también reposa en esta exhibición.

Turistas y locales pueden conocer la historia de objetos pertenecientes a músicos de La Fania All Stars o La Sonora Ponceña, los zapatos de Héctor Casanova posados sobre las congas de Eddie Montalvo y numerosas piezas llenas de anécdotas que siempre, muy gustoso, va a compartir su anfitrión.

NORTH AMERICA

BY ADRIANA SAEZÂ

ADRIANA SAEZ USA

BRISA TROPICAL CON TAINO For almost 30 years, the state of Oklahoma has among its ranks of entertainment, "Brisa Tropical con Taino", the first spanish radio show with Salsero sound, made especially for the Latin community in the country.

Its creator, founder, host and producer is the Puerto Rican Lino "Taino" Roldán Torres, a Disabled Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars Veteran, salsa lover, who together with his wife Carmen decided to undertake this project for the Latin market unattended for so many years.

This pioneering program began its transmission for the first time in 1992, through the Amplitude Modulation (AM) dial. At first, this format had three hours of broadcast of only Tropical Music in its programming, novelty that made him a creditor of a preferential site in Frequency Modulation (FM) in 1995, with a duration of one hour in addition to the one established at the beginning in the AM circuit. This way, Brisa Tropical con Taino had a total of four hours of continuous Latin music with advertising spaces, musical information and artists´ biographies, these transmissions lasted 18 uninterrupted years in that radio space.

13

Lino started with the idea of a Latin program for Latinos at a Local Radio Station when he arrived in Oklahoma after his work in the military in the early 90's, at the same time, this retired military man with 23 years of service also worked as a DJ in two European countries: Italy and Germany. "...

When I arrived to Oklahoma, I noticed the absence of a radio station in Spanish of tropical rhythms, such as Salsa, Merengue, Etc. I went to several radio stations, but they were not interested in having a program in Spanish. I went to the commercial establishments of the city and told them about my idea that would bring them a market that was unexplored (the Hispanic market). The merchants and other commercial institutions immediately told me that they would give me their support. I presented the idea to an AM station, and they accepted it. (My goal was FM, but this opened the doors)”, Taino told us.

THE OKLAHOMA´S SALSERO PROGRAM IN SPANISH

ADRIANA SAEZ USA

Currently, Brisa Tropical con Taino is developed only by network 2.0 since 2015, going from a Radio Program to a Digital Salsera Station with 24 hours programming each day with live interruptions between 10AM and 3PM, using that is commonly known as "Voice Track" for the rest of the time. With this change, this interactive Web Station based in the city of Jenks, south of Tulsa in Oklahoma, has managed to obtain a loyal and numerous audience in Europe, the Caribbean, all of Latin America, the United States, and especially in remote areas such as: Iraq and Afghanistan, where the station fulfills a gratifying mission, as they carry greetings from the hundreds of soldiers deployed in those war zones to their relatives in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

The also sociologist, Lino Roldan, along with his wife and great collaborating friends, are responsible for producing the varied programming for all Salseras generations all week, as well as to bring information capsules about Health, Consumer, Home Security, Maintenance of automobiles, etc., always with the firm purpose of bringing entertainment and, at the same time, education for the listening public.

14

"Un locutor debe concentrarse en la música y dejar un lado cualquier otro tema que no sea apropiado"

This non-profit digital broadcaster is committed to the community, sponsoring Salsa events (without cost) such as: cruises and artist presentations, as well as helping to promote several activities of various organizations. In the same way, they are always present and united with the community in cases of emergencies such as natural disasters caused by the past hurricanes Mitch (1998) and María (2017), collaborating with the collection of food for the victims.

Lino "Taino" Roldán, as a good Salsa lover, hopes to continue praising this tropical music for many years, transmitting through his digital station different interpreters’songs from all over the world, and to continue with this important work and pasion, Lino and Carmen need to raise $1000 in the account opened in "Go Fund Me" for maintenance expenses and music royalties that they promote. Would you like to help them?

AUGUSTO FELIBERTT LATIN AMERICA

CORTESÍA DE RADIO NACIONAL DE COLOMBIA PARA INTERNATIONAL SALSA MAGAZINE ASÍ SE VIVIÓ LA GRAN ‘CUMBRE DE SONEROS’ EN BARRANQUIJAZZ ESTE 15 DE SEP-2018

En una gala especial que contó con la participación por primera vez del Quinteto de Antonio Arnedo, músico determinante en los lenguajes del jazz colombiano, en la que logró introducir magníficamente al público en un viaje por los sonidos tradicionales de las distintas regiones de Colombia bajo ese concepto que ha venido a denominarse como World Jazz, se fue calentando el ambiente para el disfrute de una de las noches más vibrantes del Barranquijazz 2018.

El primero de los protagonistas de la cumbre en subir al escenario fue Hermán Olivera, el llamado ‘Sonero del siglo XXI’, quien demostró que efectivamente “es el puente entre el ayer y el hoy”, como dice en uno de sus pregones en ‘El Heredero del sabor’, pieza incluida en su álbum solista ‘La voz del Caribe’, mote con el que lo bautizó hace algún tiempo Eddie Palmieri, el líder de la orquesta en la que Hermán ha permanecido durante más de 20 años.

78

Luego llegó el turno para Ray de la Paz, quien subió de nivel el entusiasmo del público tras la interpretación de los mayores éxitos de su carrera, logrados junto al desaparecido arreglista y director de orquesta Louie Ramírez. El neoyorkino hizo exhibición de su potente voz con las piezas: ‘Todo se derrumbó’, ‘Solos tú y yo’, ‘Mentirosa’, ‘Vámonos de aquí’ y ‘Estar enamorado’.

AUGUSTO FELIBERTT LATIN AMERICA

Posteriormente, se hizo presente el ‘Niño bonito’ Ismael Miranda. En su saludo al público mencionó: "Vimos que hicieron unas olimpiadas brutales y el mundo se enteró”, en referencia a los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe realizados recientemente en la arenosa.

Miranda interpretó ‘Caretas’, ‘Las esquinas son’ y ‘No me digan que es muy tarde’. Para el cierre, Ismael Miranda llamó a la tarima a Ray de la Paz y a Hermán Olivera, y juntos inspiraron sus mejores soneos, derrochando su talento sobre el tema ‘Abran Paso’.

Con este espectáculo de altísimo nivel, Barranquijazz cerró su ciclo de galas.

LA CANDELA SALSA ORCHESTRA DE NUEVO TRABAJO DISCOGRÁFICO TITULADO ”ON TIME” Después del éxito mundial de su anterior trabajo en las mejores pistas de baile, realizan una nueva incursión dentro de la sonoridad propia de los sextetos míticos como el de Joe Cuba, aderezada con el característico sonido del vibráfono. En este éxito han tenido mucho que ver los DJ’s de congresos y fiestas de salsa, que apoyan el trabajo de Candela a nivel mundial, como por ejemplo: DJ Pablo Bat (España), DJ Hugo Leite (Portugal), DJ Chino (Colombia), DJ Momo (Japón), DJ Lasse (Noruega), DJ Antonio La Conga (NYC), DJ Mauri (Holanda), DJ David Muñoz (Alemania), DJ Toni (Suiza) o DJ Andrea Martini (Italia) entre muchos otros.

AUGUSTO FELIBERTT LATIN AMERICA

La Candela con este nuevo trabajo, promete no dejar impasible a los amantes de un sonido puro y auténtico enfocado al bailador, donde no falta el montuno, el mambo, el guaguancó, la pachanga, el boogaloo y el jazz latino bailable. El disco, que cuenta con la producción de Batlei Productions y con la colaboración de músicos canarios, como Manuel Ángel Lorenzo “Mangüi” y la “Original Big Band”, hace un guiño y al mismo tiempo un homenaje a las grandes bandas de baile de los años 50, la época dorada del prestigioso Palladium de Nueva York.

Después del éxito cosechado en la pasada edición del Benidorm Salsa Congress, el congreso más importante de los que se celebran en España, este año repitieron la visita una vez más el pasado jueves 13 de julio, donde presentaron oficialmente este nuevo disco, que ha sido grabado en Arena Digital bajo los mandos del ingeniero de sonido Juan Carlos Hernández.

En muy poco tiempo y saliendo desde Canarias, la Candela ha sido capaz de ir haciéndose un hueco dentro del panorama salsero a nivel mundial. Su música se oye desde Australia hasta California, pasando por lugares tan exóticos como Taiwan, Malasia, India, etc.. Con el nuevo trabajo discográfico, pretenden afianzarse en este mercado y realizar diferentes presentaciones que ya se van cerrando tanto en España, como en el resto de Europa y América.

La Candela está formada por: Rafael “Richie” Rodríguez, voz; Fonsi Rodríguez, piano: Alejandro Fuentes, bajo: Jordi Arocha, vibráfono; Fran Martín, congas; Alberto Martín, timbal; José Brito, bongó y campana. Una banda que mezcla veteranía con juventud, que aporta un sonido fresco y distinto para el bailador. Sin duda La Candela llega para quedarse “On Time”. El disco está ya disponible en la plataforma de música digital CDBaby.com y próximamente en iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, etc.. Además se podrá conseguir muy pronto en formato CD y vinilo en www.cucumpa.com

Anacaona Orquesta FEMENINA DE CUBA DESDE 1932 Génesis Fundada en 1932 Anacaona fundada el 19 de febrero de 1932 por Concepción Castro Zaldarriaga y sus hermanas, siendo entonces el primer sexteto femenino de Son Cubano y en 1934 de amplia al formato de Jazz Band y Charanga Típica, proyectándose al mundo desde famosos Äires Libres del Hotel Saratoga ¨en el Prado Habanero.

Entre los años 40 y 60, estas talentosas mujeres recorrieron toda América del Norte a Sur, el Caribe y Francia.

En México, uno de los países más visitados por la orquesta en esta etapa, quedaron registradas sus imágenes y sonidos en alguna película del Cine Mexicano, como: l¨a noche es nuestra¨, n̈o niego mi pasado¨y M̈ujeres de teatro¨en las cuales alternaron con artistas del cine y la música de ese país. También en esa misma época grabaron con el sello RCA Víctor.

Las Aguirre Las hermanas Giorgia y Dora Aguirre, con una sólida formación musical, en las especialidades de Contrabajo y Saxofón, recién graduadas del Conservatorio de Música Ämadeo Roldan¨, se integran a la Orquesta Anacaona con sus fundadoras originales a partir de 1983, bajo la dirección de Alicia Castro, con quienes aprendieron los más genuinos géneros de la música popular Cubana, el rigor y la disciplina en esta profesión.

81

3ra Generación A partir de la jubilación de las hermanas Castro en diciembre de 1987, asume la dirección de la Orquesta Georgia Aguirre, quien junto a su hermana y otras jóvenes también egresadas de las escuelas de música, continúan la labor iniciada por las fundadoras consolidando un estilo que combina la tradición con la modernidad, para conservar y engrandecer la historia de Anacaona.

GIRAS

Internacionalmente han viajado por más de 30 países de Europa, Asia, África, América y el Caribe actuando en importantes festivales y múltiples escenarios entre los que más destacan: La gira por 34 países de la República Popular China; su participación en la obra teatral Ël Burgués Tropical¨bajo la dirección de Gerome Sabarì, inspirada en el clásico de Moliere, El Burgués Gentilhombre”; la gira realizada por algunas ciudades de los Estados Unidos en la que también sostuvieron un encuentro muy emotivo con Graciela Pérez, cantante y fundadora de Anacaona y el show “Sabor de la Habana” que abrió a temporada de espectáculos cubanos en el Cabaret Del Gran Casino Montecarlo del Principado de Mónaco, Además de otros importantes festivales de jazz y de Verano en España, Alemania, Bélgica, Suecia, Holanda, Canadá, Jamaica, Aruba, Curazao, Guyana Francesa, Guadalupe, Martinica, Santa Lucía, Perú, Hondura, Venezuela y México, entre otros.

PAPO LUCCA

EL GIGANTE DEL SUR

Nacido en Ponce, Puerto Rico el 2 de abril de 1946, Enrique 'Papo' Lucca comenzó a tocar el piano a los 11 años con la orquesta de su padre.

Inicialmente, la Ponceña interpretaba versiones de éxitos tropicales del momento de bandas como Cortijo y su Combo y La Sonora Matancera.

A fines de los '60, Papo se convirtió en el director musical de la orquesta, comenzando una profunda transformación que eventualmente establecería a la Ponceña como una de las agrupaciones más progresivas en la historia de la música afrocaribeña. Las orquestaciones de Papo eran audaces, experimentando con elementos de jazz, rock y música brasileña. Representando el espíritu auténtico de la salsa puertorriqueña, sus solos de piano eran aterciopelados, exhibiendo elegancia, mesura e infinito swing.

Durante la mitad de los años '70, La Ponceña comenzó a disfrutar de un éxito sin precedentes con la crítica y el público. La banda grababa para la disquera Inca, que eventualmente pasó a formar parte del imperio de la Fania. Papo fue invitado a realizar arreglos y tocar en sesiones de los más grandes artistas de la compañía, incluyendo a Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz y Cheo Feliciano. También grabó y salió de gira con la Fania All Stars.

83

Esta compilación rinde tributo al arte de Papo Lucca a través de 14 temas clásicos grabados entre 1967 y 1981. Pese a que Lucca ha grabado como artista solista y también colaborado con una multitud de estrellas salseras, es su trabajo con La Ponceña el que mejor expresa la lucidez de su visión.

La música que hacemos tiene que alegrar a la gente, además de hacerla bailar. De eso se trata, cuenta Lucca desde su casa en Puerto Rico. Cuando el público puede bailar, no importa cuán complicada sea la música. La primera temática que tuvo este género fue divulgar las cosas que pasaban en las distintas comunidades, como si fuera un periódico.

Nuesto viaje comienza con dos fogosas canciones provenientes de los inicios de La Ponceña: "Hachero Pa'Un Palo" y "Fuego En El 23" son versiones de temas del cubano Arsenio Rodríguez. La Ponceña siempre tuvo una debilidad por el folklore de Puerto Rico, pero también halló inspiración en la época dorada de la música cubana.

AUGUSTO FELIBERTT LATIN AMERICA

El momento preciso en que La Ponceña se convierte en una orquesta madura con total control de su estética se puede encontrar en los seis temas provenientes de los discos Musical Conquest/Conquista Musical y El Gigante Del Sur. Lanzados al mercado en 1976 y 1977 respectivamente, representan la cúspide del movimiento salsero.

Estos temas combinan una destreza musical que se acerca al virtuosismo con letras profundas y un generoso sentido del humor. "Ñáñara Caí" es una desopilante narrativa de puro realismo mágico, describiendo un mundo donde todo está patas para arriba (mi frase favorita: Yo vi a una vaca/Chocar con Pacheco).

También incluido en Musical Conquest, "El Pío Pío" logra la cruza perfecta entre ritmo afrocubano y pop contagioso. Este éxito es una parte obligatoria de todos los conciertos de La Ponceña.

El tema de apertura del disco El Gigante Del Sur, "Boranda" pareciera ofrecer una versión salsosa del rock progresivo. Sus letras encierran un importante mensaje sociopolítico, y la sofisticación de su arreglo es una bofetada en la cara de todos los que creen que esta música sirve sólo para bailar. "Soy Tan Feliz" combina climas de bolero con un solo de piano eléctrico que recuerda el sonido psicodélico del jazz-rock de los '70. "Noche Como Boca 'E Lobo" crea una sabrosa colisión entre fiebre salsera y ritmos brasileños.

Los días dorados de la salsa son un recuerdo lejano en el nuevo milenio, pero Papo Lucca no ha parado de brillar. Tal vez precisamente porque continúa grabando música nueva, se niega a idealizar el pasado cuando le pregunto cuál es su disco favorito con la Ponceña.

El último, el más reciente, explicó en su tono característicamente introvertido. Todos los discos son bien importantes en la carrera de la orquesta. Todos cumplieron su cometido en el momento, que era reafirmar el anterior. Esa es la manera de mantener una agrupación después de 50 años.

84

Lucca no estaba solo en su misión de reinventar las reglas de la música bailable puertorriqueña.

También se vio beneficiado por la proeza de algunos de los mejores instrumentalistas de la isla. Además, su instinto para elegir cantantes fue siempre irreprochable.

Algunos de los vocalistas de la Ponceña que aparecen aquí son Tito Gómez, que después conocería la fama con el Grupo Niche de Colombia; el inimitable Luigi Texidor, que le otorgó un sentimiento de placidez a todas las canciones que interpretó; y Yolanda Rivera, que le agregó variedad al sonido de la banda con su timbre tan particular.

Uno de los momentos más felices de Rivera está incluido aquí: proveniente del disco Unchained Force de 1980, "Borinquen" de Johnny Ortiz es un conmovedor himno a Puerto Rico, bendecido con una melodía sinuosa y un sutil arreglo instrumental– uno de los momentos más trascendentales dentro del canon de la Ponceña.

AUGUSTO FELIBERTT LATIN AMERICA

El maestro fue un poco más directo cuando le pregunté sobre su concierto favorito de todos los tiempos.

Fue mi primer concierto con la Fania All Stars en el Madison Square Garden, allá por 1974, dijo. Todas las estrellas de la Fania estaban vivas todavía. Unos años más tarde tocamos delante de 47.000 personas en Cali. Siempre me tiemblan las rodillas antes de salir al escenario, pero esta vez me temblaron un poquito más.

Conozcan el nuevo tema “El Sonero Natural” de Leo Mendoza ¿Sabían que en Venezuela han surgido grandes talentos musicales a nivel internacional? Esto se debe a que en esta tierra latina, se vive la sazón, la alegría, se ven las ganas de superarse, demuestran su talento a todos aquellos que los ven y escuchan. En esta oportunidad, tenemos un nuevo talento a presentar; conozcan al músico caraqueño Leonardo Mendoza, también conocido como “Leo Mendoza”. Él nos cuenta que desde niño sintió una profunda inclinación por la música, específicamente la salsa, esto se debió a que su padre Héctor Mendoza, coleccionista de discos, siempre estaba poniendo música, de las orquestas salseras como: Johnny Pacheco, Héctor Lavoe, Oscar D León, Rubén Blades, Willie Colon, entre otros.

Esto solo fue el primer indicio de su inclinación y dedicación a la música, sobre todo al canto en el género salsero, practicando de sus artistas favoritos incluso dentro sus reuniones familiares; a partir del 2008, se integró al el grupo “Salsa son y fuego”, donde trabajó durante 2 años, y así continuó su camino de formación musical hasta que en el año 2016, participando en un festival organizado por la Alcaldía de Caracas, concursó con un tema de su autoría titulado “Sonero al Natural” recibiendo la ovación y aceptación del público espectador. El jurado calificador estaba integrado por Mariana Guevara la “Sonera de Venezuela”, Cheo Valenzuela “El Sonero de la Dulzura”, Juan José “el Indio” Hernández y el maestro Andy Durán, con su participación logró alcanzar 3 menciones, mejor tema inédito, 2do lugar como intérprete y mejor arreglo de la canción “Sonero al Natural” a cargo del Maestro José “Tuky” Torres, en esta ocasión nos presenta su primer sencillo “Sonero al Natural”, que es una invitación a la buena rumba y el sentimiento sonero… Si quieres saber más de Leo Mendoza o su nuevo tema musical, entérate a través de:

TOÑITO LAYA

En esta oportunidad tenemos el privilegio de conocer al nuevo talento venezolano Toñito Laya (cantante), hijo del Maestro Antonio "20 DEDOS" Laya, quien fue en los años 80, uno de los congueros más significativos del movimiento salsero venezolano, director de la “Orquesta Banbankere” de Petare con dos producciones musicales; dándole razón más que suficiente para crecer en la música latina, como por ejemplo en “el Son”, “la Rumba”, “la Guaracha”, “el Danzón”, “Boogaloo”, “la Timba” y “la Salsa” siendo este el inicio de su carrera artística y musical.

A partir de los años 90 ingresa a la Fundación Bigott donde tuvo la oportunidad no sólo de aprender los diversos ritmos en la percusión afro venezolana, sino también se desarrolla como bailarín en una de las agrupaciones más importantes de Venezuela cuando de tradiciones populares se trata, “Vasallos del Sol”, convirtiéndose al final en “Vasallos de Venezuela” en el 2016, donde tuvo 16 conciertos, producciones, discos y giras nacionales e internacionales; Colombia, México, Estados Unidos, Corea del Sur y Japón, entre otros.

En el 2006, comenzó un proyecto denominado “Escuela integral de danza Tradición Latina 100 % Tumbao”, donde se formó a muchos bailarines en el género de la Salsa Casino Cubana, combinando esta formación con las tradiciones venezolanas, haciéndoles entender que primero son las tradiciones venezolanas. Luego participaron en los eventos y competencias más importantes en Venezuela, hasta se convirtieron Campeones latinoamericanos del “CUBAMEMUCHO 2009” en la ciudad de Caracas-Venezuela, logrando así representar al país en la gran final a realizarse en la ciudad de Múnich-Alemania, 2010.

Luego participaron en los eventos y competencias más importantes en Venezuela, hasta se convirtieron Campeones latinoamericanos del “CUBAMEMUCHO 2009” en la ciudad de CaracasVenezuela, logrando así representar al país en la gran final a realizarse en la ciudad de Múnich-Alemania, 2010.

También nos comenta que en el 2009, fueron invitados a participar en un nuevo proyecto pero en esta oportunidad no para bailar, sino para “cantar” en una agrupación que para entonces, no tenía nombre pero sí un género particular como el “Son Cubano”.

A partir de ese momento Toñito comenzó su carrera musical a desarrollarse de una manera un poco inesperada, fue fundador y asumió el compromiso de estar al frente de esta agrupación como uno de sus cantantes líderes por más 7 años, donde surgieron los temas: A mí que, La Ruñidera, Bilongo, El Jamaiquino, Oigo un tambor, entre otros; formaron parte de su primer repertorio musical.

Con dos producciones discográficas junto a la ya estructurada banda “La Séptima Bohemia” consolidó su carrera musical como cantante, pasando por un proceso de formación con diferentes maestros y coach vocales tales como: Ronald González, Fanny Olano, Gustavo Gerardo y Marcial Istúriz, entre otros, quienes le ayudarían a desarrollarse en el medio de la música. Giras nacionales, nominaciones a premios y conciertos le permitió compartir escenario al lado de agrupaciones nacionales e internacionales de gran envergadura como por ejemplo: Francisco Pacheco, Canelita Medina, Alexander Abre y su Habana de Primera, Manolito y su Trabuco, El Septeto Santiaguero, José Alberto “El Canario” por mencionar algunos. Toñito graba para el año 2012, el tema “Ella me lleva”, tema que a su vez sería el título del segundo disco convirtiéndose en un ícono de las fiestas, bailes y sociales no sólo de Venezuela sino de muchos países bailadores de salsa y salsa casino en el mundo.

En el año 2016 Toñito Laya llega a tierra azteca para emprender un nuevo camino, comienza por residenciarse en la ciudad de Cancún-México para cantar en algunas agrupaciones locales y participar en varios proyectos tales como: Los Panas.com, La Fórmula Perfecta, Grupo Swing Latino entre otros. Esta nueva etapa como artista, lo impulsa a plantearse un nuevo reto musical pero en esta oportunidad como cantante solista con una visión bien definida y enfocada, su grata experiencia como bailarín y bailador lo motiva a dedicar su primer sencillo promocional “ABRE QUE VOY”, siendo este el complemento de una orquesta, para los músicos y sus cantantes “EL BAILADOR”.

“ABRE QUE VOY” es el resultado del trabajo de talentosos y reconocidos músicos venezolanos que le dan un plus importante a esta producción Musical de “Maurice Melo”, se crea este primer sencillo interpretado por Toñito Laya, en compañía del talento Venezolano de los siguientes músicos:
