Best of 2011 Award Winner
The WIlliamsburg Salsa Orchestra is an 11-piece group playing big Latin arrangements of indie tunes that we love. With an ever-evolving set list that includes songs by Arcade Fire, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yeas, LCD Soundsystem, Animal Collective, TV On The Radio, Peter Bjorn and John, Japanther, and many more, the WSO will make a salsa-believer out of you! And if you love salsa, but you’ve never delved into the ultra-creative world of independent music, you’ll want to explore these groups and learn where the great melodies and lyrics originate. Led by percussionist/arranger Gianni Mano, (from the Brooklyn Latin-funk legends Radio Mundial), the WSO contains some of the best young players on the scene including a full compliment of horns and percussion. With the attitude of a rock band, and the grooves of classic New York salsa, the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra is introducing salsa to a new audience and resetting the boundaries of the art form.
Highly Recommended.
