New York City's Spanish Harlem is the birthplace of Salsa, Latin Soul, Boogaloo, and countless other sounds within the tropical Latin idiom, and it's mind-blowing how so small a neighborhood had such a huge influence on contemporary music. World famous pianist and arranger Oscar Hernandez and his 13-piece Spanish Harlem Orchestra (including not one, not two, but three vocalists) have quickly established themselves as one of the pillars of contemporary Latin music. Make sure you wear your dancing shoes to this show, because when the horns start blasting in your face, it will be impossible to stay in your seat.
