From the first jazzy slurs of the trombone on Mi Nueva York to Little Johnny's latest on Le Traigo la Ultima, Rumba Jams is proud to present this compilation of today's "baddest" salsa bands from the Big Apple exploding with sassy dance rhythms from the streets of the metropolis. With tropical rhythms like mambo, bomba, timba and son -- even a bit of reggaeton -- "Bands of New York" will get you dancing from the first chorus refrains declaring NY as tasty, to the blast from its mambo past featuring the progeny of Latin music giants, Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez and Machito.
Just as the gangs of New York fought for turf that today defines New York City neighborhoods, so too have New York Salsa Bands fought to create and establish their own diverse sounds and audiences. Today's salsa bands bring with them the solid yet edgy street 'cred foundation forged from its glory days updated by lyrics, arrangements and fused musical genres that speak to an urban reality different from any found around the world. Just listen to bandleader/arranger Ricky Gonzalez's opening number that speaks of Nueva York's resiliency in bouncing back from the 9/11 attack. Fusing rhythmic beats such as bomba and reggaeton alongside a danceable salsa base, Mi Nueva York salutes the strength and resolve of the City that never sleeps. So move over Beethoven because salsa, born on the streets of New York, is here to stay and they've taken the gloves off for a good ol', bare fisted fight.
