"Welcome to Shakori Hills" - Live at Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival
What do you get when you cross an accomplished ethnomusicology professor with a dynamic lead vocalist and a bevy of North Carolina’s finest salsa and jazz musicians? None other than the eleven member salsa “supergroup” known as Orquesta GarDel!
Founded in 2006 by David Garcia, a professor of Afro-Cuban music at UNC Chapel Hill, and Nelson Delgado, a singer and seasoned veteran of the Triangle latin music scene, Orquesta GarDel plays classic and modern salsa music rooted in the sound of the New York-Puerto Rico connection of the 1970s represented by artists such as Rubén Blades, Willie Colón, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Baretto, and Sonora Ponceña. Having established a book of classic salsa covers, GarDel is now writing original material that better reflects the band's personality and modern sensibilities.
All salsa dancers know there is nothing like dancing to a live band, which is why Eduardo Winston, leader of Paso Dance Studios in Durham, has testified that "from day one I was a serious GarDel fan. They never cease to delight me with their stage discipline and pure DESIRE."
Comprised of both Latino and Anglo musicians, Orquesta GarDel is on a mission to bring its energetic music to both populations in an effort to unify and celebrate the cultures, appearing at such events and venues as Shakori Hills, the North Carolina Salsa Festival, La Fiesta del Pueblo, Saxapahaw Music Series, Festival Ritmo Latino, Rocky Mount’s Fiesta Latina, the Carrboro ArtsCenter, Mosquito, Montas Lounge, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and more.
Upon watching dancers react to GarDel’s set at the 2007 Fiesta del Pubelo, the Independent Weekly remarked that “Orquesta GarDel is reaching hurricane strength. With vocalist Nelson Delgado and a cast of some of the Triangle’s freshest and finest musicians, it may well be the salsa band to be reckoned with.”
Greetings and thanx for add'n us!!!!! Very nice groove to 'yo music!!!! Nelson Delgado is a very good singer!!! Wish'n good fortune and good vibes on future gigs!!!!!!
