Carolina La O y Los Gemelos
The resurgence of Salsa, particularly salsa dura, has been credited to a few great albums by the likes of Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Bobby Valentin, and Oscar D’Leon. These amazing albums have showcased the avant-garde aspect of this music which was prevalent in the 70’s. Now an album focused on that other side of 70’s salsa, salsa matancera, is hitting the streets as it takes modern dancers back to the heyday of Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz,
Tipica ’73 and Ismael Rivera y los Cachimbos. In the late 90’s the Sonora Matancera tribute band Alquimia, conquered the Latin region with their version of the sonoras hits. Who better to bring back salsa matancera than Alquimia’s great singers and successful performers in their own right: Carolina La O y Los Gemelos. After ten years of developing solo careers these three soneros have reunited, not to rehash old material, but to create
a new sound without losing the essence of their heyday together.
With eclectic material that ranges from songs once performed by Trio Matamoros, Celia Cruz, Oscar D’Leon, Hector Lavoe, all the way to Marc Anthony, this album brings it all together with a cohesive conjunto sound. Included are hit songs such as Llego El Sabor, Cucala, Hueso Na Ma, El Ultimo Beso, and the album’s first single, Azucar Negra.
Featuring Carolina La O and Marco & Jhon Jairo (Los Gemelos)
