Since its original conception by producer Aaron Levinson in 2000, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra (SHO) has established itself as a standard bearer of contemporary Latin music. Directed by world-renowned pianist, arranger, and producer Oscar Hernández, the 13-member ensemble has reintroduced the classic sounds of New York City Salsa to music lovers worldwide. “United We Swing,” SHO’s third album, is a stunning follow-up to its 2004 Grammy award-winning album, “Across 110th St.,” and its 2002 Grammy-nominated debut, “Un Gran Día En El Barrio.” Of the group’s patented heavy salsa sound, Hernández says, “we want to keep it alive while educating new generations and music lovers in general on the true musical roots of our culture.” Back to Arts & Lecture
