"Another end-of-summer 2006 surprise: a
first-class salsa project that will keep the dancers on the floor…"
Bruce Polin, Descarga.com
Since its inception in 2001, Ray
Rodriguez & Swing Sabroso have generated a growing number of loyal fans
with a hot "Salsa Dura" sound. The group’s distinctive style is the result
of the unique and extensive musical backgrounds of the band’s individual
members, who have performed and recorded with some of the most
recognizable names in Latin music before joining together to integrate
Swing Sabroso.
Ray Rodriguez & Swing Sabroso
have just released their debut album appropriately entitled
Baila con Swing Sabroso,
which has been getting great reviews by
specialized media. For the recording, the group enlisted the collaboration
of experienced arrangers Oscar Hernández, Paquito Pastor and Willie Ruiz.
It also features special guest appearances by Dave Valentín, Ray Vega,
Pablo "Chino" Núñez and "Pequeño" Johnny Rivero.
Ray Rodriguez, Swing Sabroso’s
leader, was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, the birthplace of Rafael
Hernández, Puerto Rico’s foremost composer, and raised in New York City’s
Spanish Harlem and Brooklyn, homegrounds to Tito Puente, Ray Barretto and
many other salsa icons.
Ray Rodriguez began his musical
career at an early age and went on to study at the renowned Brooklyn
Conservatory of Music where he majored in music theory, counterpoint,
harmony and arranging. Subsequently, he continued studying at the Bronx
Community College and with selected private instructors.
Baila con Swing Sabroso
is the premier release by World Stage Recordings.
