What is Salsa Dura? Literally translated it’s ‘Hard Salsa’, a genre of Salsa that is the polar opposite of ‘Salsa Romantica’. This is not Salsa cooking on a low flame! Salsa Dura is all of the hard pounding montunos and Barrio-conscious lyrics from the 70’s. We keep the tradition alive with our own original songs that can be just as experimental and open to new ideas as the first wave of Salsa Music coming out of New York, with our West Coast version. You can hear us playing our versions of such standards as “El Malo’ by Willie Colon as well as the jibaro-tinged original ‘Un Jibaro en la Ciudad’.
Who is Salsa Dura? Formed May 2007 and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Orquesta Salsa Dura’s founding members include musicians Orlando Morales on Timbale, Scott Brown on Cuatro (who also composes for the band), Mike Parykaza on Trumpet and David Barrios on Trombone. The idea of a group that played our favorite Salsa tunes and original songs in the same vein was conceived and carefully selected, we felt all the musicians involved were some of the best available for the job, and with this, Orquesta Salsa Dura was born! This is the music we love and it shows when we play. Look for our debut CD of original tunes to be coming out soon.
Want to help us in our effort to produce our debut CD? Donate! We'd love you, sign your CD (when it's released) and put you on the guest list to a couple of selected upcoming shows!
Here's my first Salsa band's self-titled debut CD, "Surco Nuevo" (2001).
