Spanish Harlem Orchestra

United We Swing

2007-05-21

A thirteen member all-star ensemble. This is the stunning followup to the band’s Grammy-winning 2004 album, although we’re probably still going to be the only ones to play it. Contemporary-meets-traditional on this release of nine original and four interpretations influenced by the legacy of El Barrio, an Eastside NYC community that gave rise to Boogaloo, Latin Soul, and Salsa. –Pete
