Larry Harlow’s La Raza Latina, A Salsa Suite
Conducted by Larry Harlow
starring Rubén Blades
with guest vocalist Adonis Puentes
Plus 40 piece Orchestra and Chorus
Bobby Sanabria Big Band
Composed to convey the history of Latin music in song, La Raza Latina remains a testament to keyboard genius Larry Harlow's commitment to salsa as well as his outsize ambitions. In the long-awaited New York premiere of this landmark 1977 suite, the legendary Jewish salsero pilots a sprawling 40-piece orchestra playing music by Harlow, Johnny Ortiz, Rudy Calzado and Tito Puente. Panamanian superstar Ruben Blades, a veteran of the original Fania recording, recreates his role as lead vocalist, joined by Cuban singer Adonis Puentes. Virtuoso drummer Bobby Sanabria's fierce big band serves as the orchestra’s nerve-center, as well as opening the night with a hard-swinging set of Latin jazz that marries sophisticated harmonies with explosive rhythms.
