Larry Harlow & Latin Legends of Fania
@ The Roundhouse on Saturday November 17
Just as the extraordinary creativity and exploring of new
musical elements by Cuban musicians led to the prolific
Timba explosion of the nineties, twenty years earlier
Latin musicians in New York were doing the same thing.
The result was the revelation of what we now think of
as classic New York salsa but which was in its time a
revolutionary reworking of traditional Cuban and Puerto
Rican rhythms, laced with a funky urban edge.
Larry Harlow, "El Judio Maravilloso", a key member of the
famous Fania All Stars brings any Latin music lover a
night to remember right here in old London town. The
band features Adalberto Santiago, Yomo Toro & Nicky
Marrero + special guest DJ Gilles Peterson and is the top
billed Latin event featured in the London Jazz Festival.
Venue: Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8EH
Date: Saturday November 17
Doors: 7.30pm

In 1971, New York exploded to sound of salsa, the new urban
Latin dance music with Cuban roots, Puerto Rican soul and a
touch of Big Apple funk!
Fania Records was at the heart of this revolution and
documented the soundtrack to Latin New York in more than
1500 albums between 1964 and 1989. Tonight, one of that
scene's great innovators, pianist/bandleader Larry Harlow, has
put together a team of galacticos to revisit planet salsa from
the time when men walked on the moon.
A young jazz pianist at the time, Harlow was the first artist to
sign to the fledgling label in 1965, and his early releases were
a mix of Cuban son and mambo with the cool boogaloo of the
period. As the 60s progressed into the 70s, he became one of
salsa's leading musicians, composing, arranging and producing
many albums for the label as well as playing piano in the
legendary Fania All Stars.
This concert features several Fania Allstars legends - sonero
Adalberto Santiago, timbalero Nicky Marrero and cuatro (Puerto
Rican guitar) player Yomo Toro, trombonist Lewis Kahn and
some of New York's current hot-shot musicians including
percussionists Louis Bauzo and Bobby Sanabria. Look out
especially for one of the new young vocal sensations in New
York today, Luisito Rosario!If you like salsa played the correct
way - hot, hard and heavy for the dancefloor but with a jazzy
flavour, then this concert is a MUST for you.
Brought to you by the same people who promoted the sell-out
WILLIE COLON concert at the same venue in the summer. In
support, Radio One's Gilles Peterson, who has been dropping
Latin gems in the clubs and on radio since the early 80s.
Digging deep into his collection and featuring many tracks from
his recent Fania DJ Series compilation, expect a few surprises
from the station's most progressive presenter! featuring Larry
Harlow & Yomo Toro; Adalberto Santiago; Nicky Marrero; Ray
Martinez; Louis Bauzo; Bobby Sanabria; Chembo Corniel; Mac
Gollehon; Richie Viruet; Lewis Kahn; Joe Fiedler; Frank
Fontaine; Luisito Rosario; Emo Luciano.
