Salsa the year after 2011
We all wonder way latin salsa has changed within
the last decade. I believe the music has change for
the better but, it lacks sabor. The new wave musicians
come on the stage doing the usual entertaining with
great aspiration of becoming the key figure in the
group and that’s what drives the player. But, what
drives me insane, where is the history of the pioneers.
The musicians who pave the roads for, the newbie.
When interviewing the next horn player or, singer
about what was then and what is now, they get
lost in conversation. This gives me the opportunity to
provide them with history. Performing on the stage is a good
thing but, before you climb the final steps behind the
lights know why, your able to be there. Respect the
history of the musicians, who made that same stage
their home.
The Players
The formation of La Fantastica is up and coming in
the music industry as once before. We are bringing
the roots, of latin salsa with sabor back on stage, with
two key players from the past Sam Leon and brother
jl Leon. If you follow up on Facebook, Youtube and or
Google you’ll find La Fantastica. A forth coming blog on
(www.Leonjl.wordpress.com), is being implemented
for your viewing. The percussionist mentioned below
are the driving force of the group. They provide a
strong presents, bringing sabor into salsa. These musicians
are a team of perfection, when you ask them what’s up,
they reply “studio time”, they love what they do.
