Music reviews of United We Swing
Music Review: Excelente
Rating: 5 Stars
Excelente
El CD es evocador de muchos grandes grupos latinos de Nueva York en los d?as tempranos de Salsa. Los 3 cantantes son fant?sticos y los componentes de la orchestra son muy tradicional. 3 trompetas, 2 trombones y un saxophone bar?tono componen la section de instrumentos de aire. El resto del grupo se compone de conga, bongos y timbales m?s un competente tocador del bajo y el l?der extrordinario en piano. SHO tiene un sonido muy agradable, enfrentado por 3 vocalists. Tuve el placer de ver a SHO en vivo en la Universidad de Maryland ayer y fueron en?rgtico en persona que en el ?lbum, que s? mismo es muy din?mico. Este es un tremendo CD para cualquiera que le guste la Salsa tradicional con excelente vocales.
Exhilarating
The CD is exhilarating and reminiscent of many great Latin groups from New York in the early days of Salsa. The 3 singers are fantastic and the orchestration is very traditional. 3 trumpets, 2 slide trombones and a baritone saxophone make up the "loud" section. The rest of the group is made up of 3 excellent percussionists (conga, bongos and timbales) plus a good base player and the leader on piano. Overall, SHO has a very nice, full and rich sound led by the 3 vocalists. I had the pleasure of seeing SHO live at the University of Maryland and they were even more energetic in person than on the album, which itself is very dynamic. This is a good CD for anyone to have in their collection if they enjoy older style salsa with excellent vocals.
Description of United We Swing
Spanish Harlem Orchestra's United We Swing does more than just make you want to dance. The joyous collection will likely incite a full-scale house party, complete with flowy dresses, sparkly jewelry, and silky, unbuttoned shirts. The disc plays like an actual live performance, a tight mix of passion and precision. Bandleader Oscar Hernandez even introduces the entire outfit on the opening track. Horns blare, percussion pulses, and a voice of choruses guides several numbers. If nothing else, take a listen to the trio of "Sacala Bailar," "Ahora Si," and "Que Bonito," which comes midway through the disc, for an idea of SHO's sparkling seamlessness. "Danzon For My Father" is a touching instrumental tribute, and the bilingual "Late in the Evening-Tarde en la Noche" features an inspired guest spot by Paul Simon, who matches the group's swelling enthusiasm. Swing does just that--and so much more. --Joey GuerraGeneral CDs
