Juan Sebastian Bar “The Temple of Jazz and Salsa in Caracas”

In the heart of the city, there is a refuge of sophistication and art: Juan Sebastián Bar.

Delight your palate with our cocktails, each a fusion of classic flavors and contemporary notes, while live jazz and salsa create the most special melodies.

In the heart of the city, lies a refuge of sophistication and art, Juan Sebastián Bar.

Aldemaro Romero, Alfredo Sadel, Billo Frómeta, Dámaso Pérez Prado, Tito Puente, Bobby Capó, Pedro Vargas, Leo Marini, Libertad Lamarque, Ray Barreto, Lucho Gatica, Olga Guillot, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Julio Gutiérrez, Vicky Carr, Armando Manzanero, Sergio Mendes.

They all passed through Juan Sebastián Bar, the so-called temple of jazz, but which is actually a brotherhood of music lovers. For 43 years it has been a reference in Caracas’ nightlife, even with its ups and downs. Every night, from Tuesday to Saturday, it offers a space for disconnection.

That brick cave, with its cork walls and the bar illuminated with bottle bottoms, has its anecdotes, the first one sinceevery night the famous saxophonist Victor Cuica threatened them and the second one. It stars the maestro Aldemaro Romero in a taxi heading to the place, one of his usual places to eat and drink.

The taxi driver who is already approaching the place located in El Rosal, comments: “poor those people who could not complete the facade and left it in bricks.” The scene speaks of that ostentatious and cosmopolitan Caracas of the seventies and eighties. The truth is that over the years the area was transformed into a financial district of large glass towers and the two-story brick house became the after office on Venezuela Avenue.

The name of the establishment, founded by Eleazar López Contreras -yes, the grandson of the former president of Venezuela- is a play on words with the name of the composer Juan Sebastián Bach, who holding a pair of cutlery serves as the logo for the business, under the design of Jorge Blanco, the famous illustrator who created the character of the Castaway.

In choosing the place, they considered other equally humorous options such as Bar Thoven.

The musical repertoire ranges from jazz to salsa. In the place you can listen to virtuosos of these genres such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tonny Bennet, Héctor Lavoe and Willie Colón, among others.

Alfredo Naranjo, a percussion virtuoso who has left his mark on the international music scene, will delight us once again with his incomparable talent.

He recently participated in the Chicago International Festival and has received a Latin Grammy nomination for his unparalleled percussion performance on the album: Soy Puro Teatro: Tributo a La Lupe by Mariaca Semprún and with her, he also recorded a version of the gaita María la bollera.

Considered one of the greatest exponents of salsa and Latin jazz, Alfredo Naranjo has a long career that began at an early age at the Conservatory of Music of the National Youth Orchestra.

In 1986 he joined the Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho Orchestra, and then continued his training at the University of Long Island, New York.

He has played with artists such as Dave Samuels, Tito Puente, Ray Charles, Alex Acuña and Carlos “Nené” Quintero, and groups such as Guaco and Ensamble Gurrufío. Cheo Feliciano referred to him as “the best vibraphonist in salsa.”

He has been the leader of El Guajeo, a fundamental piece of contemporary Caracas. He has recorded albums such as Cosechando (1993), A través del tiempo (1997), Vibraciones de mi tierra (1999), Alfredo Naranjo y El Guajeo I y II (2001 y 2006), México Music Fest (2011), Lado A Lado B (2015) and Be Jazz Sessions (2018), an album that was awarded at thePepsi Music Awards in the Jazz Album category.

Enjoy a unique evening in a sophisticated atmosphere, where the passion for music is breathed in every corner.
Let yourself be seduced by the enveloping rhythms of Latin music in a sophisticated atmosphere.

Every Wednesday, Dj. Augusto Felibertt transports us through a unique musical journey.

José Ernesto Parra is ready to embark on his solo journey in Salsa

Throughout his career, José Ernesto Parra has consolidated his place in the history of salsa. Each project in which he has participated reflects his great talent.

José Ernesto Parra was born in Santurce and grew up in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. From a very early age, he was an admirer of the music of La Sonora Ponceña and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. Later, Héctor Lavoe, Frankie Ruiz and Luisito Carrión became his references.

Before deciding on singing, he was captivated by percussion, focusing on the conga and drums.

Eventually, he began to explore his vocal ability, with the help of composer and music teacher Rafy Monclova. This training led him to become a singer, while helping him develop his distinctive interpretive style.

In 1989, José Ernesto Parra joined the orchestra of singer Viti Ruiz, just at the time when the latter was beginning to enjoy success with the hit ‘Caricias Prohibidas’. For two years, José Ernesto was part of Viti’s orchestra, which allowed him to perform his first shows outside of Puerto Rico, marking the beginning of his career in the international music scene.

Having been part of Viti Ruiz’s orchestra, later opened doors for him with Pupy Santiago’s orchestra and with Anthony Cruz’s orchestra, where he remained for four years. José Ernesto considers his time in Anthony Cruz’s orchestra as a key phase in which he consolidated his artistic training.

Later, the renowned musician and producer Julio “Gunda” Merced identified José Ernesto Parra’s talent, selecting him as a backing vocalist for a series of recordings of artists belonging to the Musical Production M.P. label. During that period, José Ernesto’s voice was recorded in important projects for artists such as Anthony Cruz, Giro, Los Hijos de los Célebres, Luisito Carrión, Pedro Conga, Tito Gómez and Tito Rojas, among others. Thus, he was able to hone his skills as a vocalist while collaborating with the production team in the creative process behind some of the greatest salsa hits.

In addition, José Ernesto Parra stood out as the lead singer in the short-lived but innovative group Salsa 2000, expanding his experience in the salsa field, demonstrating his versatility and interpretive abilities. He also played an important part in the album Con el golpe de siempre, with which Pedro Conga’s La Internacional orchestra celebrated its 35th anniversary. For the latter, José Ernesto sang the songs ‘Contigo estaré’, ‘Si me vuelvo loco’, ‘No quiero, no puedo’, ‘El ritmo que pica’ and ‘Parece’.

In 2001, José Ernesto Parra joined Luisito Carrión’s orchestra as a chorister. In 2002, he participated in the First Soneros Festival in Orlando, Florida, USA, sharing the stage with veteran vocalists such as Chamaco Rivera, Héctor Tricoche, Junior González, Luigi Texidor, Yolanda Rivera and Tito Allen, among others.

That stage laid the groundwork for the creation of his record production Así es la vida, published under the M.P. label. The album included songs by renowned composers such as Harry Suárez, Mimi Ibarra, Pedro Jesús and Rando Tamasta. In addition, it featured arrangements by the talented Julio “Gunda” Merced, Ramón Sánchez and Rafael “Bodo” Torres. Among the songs on the album are ‘Morir por amar’, ‘Solo por ti’, ‘Un amor así’ and ‘Cosas bonitas’.

Later, and for a brief but significant period, José Ernesto further expanded his professional horizon by collaborating with the Don Perignon orchestra and with Tommy Olivencia’s La Primerísima. These interventions offered him the possibility of interacting with different musical styles and approaches, strengthening his versatility within salsa.

Since 2011 and for twelve years, José Ernesto Parra stood out as a singer in the orchestra of “Míster Afinque”, Willie Rosario. His presence in the music industry was reinforced through the recording of his voice in the song ‘Ya no eres nada’, which is part of the production Evidencia (2016).

Tribute to Johnny “Dandy” Rodríguez Jr. His first recording was professionally with Tito Puente in 1964 and was titled “Exciting Rhythm of Tito Puente”

Johnny “Dandy” Rodriguez, (September 11, 1945, United States August 17, 2024) son of Johnny Rodriguez Sr. who was nicknamed “La Vaca”, remembered percussionist who was part of the orchestras of Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez, among others; as we can deduce, music for Johnny Rodriguez is something clearly hereditary given that as a child he attended his father’s rehearsals and his mother was a dancer.

Johnny Dandy Rodriguez Foto By Miguel Martillo

To get an idea of the musical family, let’s say that Johnny Rodriguez Sr. also took part in performances and recordings with musicians and singers of the stature of: Alfredito Levy, Joe Quijano, Jose Curbelo, Lou Perez Louie Ramirez, Machito, Miguelito Valdes, Noro Morales, Orlando Marin, Pete Terrace, Pupi Campo and Xavier Cugat.

The father’s enormous musical background was emulated in a great way with ample merits by the son.

Dandy Rodriguez grew up in Spanish Harlem in Manhattan, his home was very musical and when he was in high school he learned the details of percussion represented by the bongos, congas, timbales and drums. Influenced by his father he became interested in music and so in 1962 he joined the band of maestro Tito Puente.

His first professional recording was with Tito Puente and was titled Excitante Ritmo De Tito Puente; after this first album with Puente, “Dandy” Rodriguez began to deepen his musical studies listening and learning from leading musicians such as: José Mangual Senior bongosero from Machito, Rogelio “Yeyito” Iglesias bongosero from Cachao and Vitin Palacio bongosero from Johnny Segui.

He worked with the King of Timbales for more than three decades, initially in the sixties, more specifically from 1962 to 1972, then he rejoined Tito Puente’s band at the end of the seventies and was part of it practically until the death of the famous King of Timbales.

In the extensive career of our Johnny Rodriguez in music we must mention his internship with Joe Cuba’s orchestra, with whom “Dandy” Rodriguez himself says he participated in seven or eight albums since the mid-sixties; the first of them titled Joe Cuba Sextette – Comin’ At Yous; without forgetting to mention that in those albums the name of Johnny Rodriguez Jr. does not appear in the credits due to issues related to contracts with record companies.

His stay with Puente was not a limitation for him to be part of other musical groups, so he also worked for several years with another great of Latin music, the remembered Tito Rodríguez. He was also part of the band of the famous conguero Ray Barreto, replacing Tony Fuentes, and was one of the founders of the famous Típica 73 in 1972 and even took part in a couple of albums with Machito.

In the seventies, during the Salsa Boom, “Dandy” Rodriguez left his mark on recordings with: Jose “Cheo” Feliciano, Charlie Palmieri, Roberto Torres, Willie Rosario, Ismael Quintana, Celia Cruz & Johnny Pacheco, Louie Ramirez, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz, Fania All Stars, Alfredo De La Fe, Conjunto Clásico, Henry Fiol and Tito Allen.

As we mentioned before, John Rodriguez returned to the band of maestro Tito Puente in 1978 and was part of the band until Ernesto Antonio Puente’s death in 2000 at the age of 77; he participated in this cycle in at least twenty musical works apart from a large number of concerts and performances on tours in different countries around the world.

During those two decades with Tito Puente he also worked with other musicians, singers and groups such as: Miguel Quintana, Roberto Torres, Charlie Rodriguez, Tito Allen, Alfredo De La Fe, Azuquita Y Su Melao, Charlie Palmieri, Celia Cruz & Johnny Pacheco, Paquito D’ Rivera, Raulin, The Bronx Horns and Angelo Vaillant.

Luisito Quintero, Johnny Rodriguez y George Delgado

During the first two decades of the new century, the musical work of maestro Johnny Rodriguez continued and his musical mark has remained in other publications with The Latin-Jazz Coalition, Frankie Morales, Eddie Palmieri, Gilberto Santa Rosa, George Delgado, Victor Manuelle, Rick Arroyo, Orestes Vilato, Mitch Frohman, Cita Rodriguez, Doug Beaver, Adalberto Santiago and Jeremy Bosch.

Also, special mention must be made of the participation of maestro Johnny Rodriguez with a group called The Latin Giants Of Jazz, in the best style of the classic Big Bands made up of great teachers, including some of the former members of maestro Tito Puente’s band; with this group they have published four albums; this project gave rise to another band called The Mambo Legends, who recorded the album entitled: Watch Out! Be careful!

John Rodriguez is without a doubt one of the most prolific percussionists in the world of Latin music called Salsa. The nickname “Dandy” dates back to his childhood when the car he was driven in was bought at a store or shop called “Dandy” and people said look how cute “Dandy” is and from there he stuck with that nickname. In music he is better known as Johnny instead of John.

In (the year 2022) the experienced Johnny Rodriguez had three or four groups with which he is playing, including Dandy Rodriguez and his Dream Team, while teaching percussion classes online.

He is one of the true legends of Latin music, not to mention that his talent has also been reflected in recordings for other musical genres such as: Electronic, Folk Rock, Folk, World & Country, Funk / Soul, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Stage & Screen, Jazz-Funk, Merengue and Pop.

In his very extensive artistic career, maestro Johnny Rodríguez was part of historic and iconic recordings of our musical culture, some of these albums have been worthy of awards such as the Grammy Award, among which are:

Tribute to Beny Moré – Year 1978

On Broadway – Year 1983

El Rey: Tito Puente & His Latin Ensemble – Year 1984

Mambo Diablo – Year 1985

Goza Mi Timbal – Year 1990

Mambo Birdland – Year 1999

Masterpiece / Obra Maestra Tito Puente & Eddie Palmieri – Year 2000.

“In 2008, Johny entrusted LP’s Research and Development Department with the design of the John “Dandy” Rodriguez Jr. Legends Series bongos. John is proud that these drums, which bear his name, feature such outstanding sound and visual characteristics.”

Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery & Johnny Cruz: ¡Que viva la Salsa!

Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery & Johnny Cruz: ¡Que viva la Salsa!

A private collection that was built over four decades has opened its doors to the public in El Barrio, New York, becoming the only permanent exhibition dedicated to salsa and its heritage

By Carmen Mercedes Aular

With the magic and passion of Johnny Cruz as host, Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery opened its doors to the New York community and the world a year ago, after 5 years of starting as a private gallery for an exclusive audience.

In this extraordinary place are exhibited 40 years of music, experiences and memories that now everyone can relive and consequently know the history behind each instrument, behind each object that rests in this immaculate space and carefully organized by Cruz. The collection includes instruments, pictures, newspapers, clothing and several gadgets donated by great musicians of Latin music.

Must share the good things

The initiative to bring the VIP experience to more people was conceived by Johnny Cruz to realize the positive impact that the gallery would have on the community of El Barrio and the way in which, through it, he could get more involved with schools from the neighborhood. The goal is to continue teaching children and adults the history of Latin music and show them how music is part of history and culture, and how it’s also part of El Barrio.

Cruz hopes to tell the story of each element of the gallery to anyone who wants to listen, and continue to increase the collection with donations from the stars of Latin music. Anyone interested in the history of music can learn something new and continue to share this information with other people so that the successes of these artists are never forgotten and kept alive in the collective memory.

In the near future, they hope to carry the information from the gallery to schools and universities in New York. In addition, they are working to collect resources to expand the collection and preserve exposure in the best and safest way possible, and become a source of employment for the community.

What awaits you at SpaHa Salsa Gallery?

At 1708 Lexington Ave NYC, you can find a wide variety of instruments, costumes, and other items from top artists of Latin music. One of the pieces of more recent data is the costume used by Sophy from Puerto Rico, in the tribute concert to Rafael Hernández at the Center for Fine Arts of Puerto Rico.

The great Eric Vélez supported the gallery by donating the congas that are in the permanent exhibition. You can also appreciate the tuxedo that Adalberto Santiago used in his 55th anniversary concert and a Bobby Cruz costume. A piece that you definitely have to watch is the colorful and vibrant Celia Cruz’s dress. Mike Rodriguez donated his güiro, maracas and tamboril. Willie Álvarez’s trombone also rests in this exposition.

Tourists and locals can learn about the history of objects belonging to musicians of La Fania All Stars or La Sonora Ponceña, the shoes of Héctor Casanova perched on the congas of Eddie Montalvo and numerous pieces full of anecdotes that will always, very gladly, share their host. The commitment of the gallery, and Johnny Cruz, is reaffirmed every day with donations of great glories that have a single purpose: to keep the music alive.

Soon, you will have access to the membership of the SpaHa Salsa Gallery, with which you will get information about the events before the general public and discounts in a wide network of restaurants in town, among other benefits, as a way to promote the gallery and obtain funds for its expansion and maintenance.

Within the gallery’s events programming for this month is Pablito Rosario and Cachete Maldonado’s visit, a celebration for Governor Andrew Cuomo for his triumph in the primaries vote in the state of New York, and another for Assemblyman Roberto Rodríguez, who has the support of the Latino community in the area where SpaHa Salsa Gallery lives. Moreover, Nicky Marrero, musician of the Fania All Stars, will donate the timbales he used recently in a tribute to Celia Cruz, so you can meet him in the gallery; on that day, he will be signing the instrument to formally deliver it to the collection.

The gallery is open to the public from Wednesday to Friday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm at 1708 Lexington Ave. NY 10029 (El Barrio).

You can get more information about events, membership and donations by calling 917-747-8505.

About the precursor of the initiative

Johnny Cruz has a history of 40 years in the world of Latin music, during which he has been collecting musical instruments. In the last 5 years he created Spaha Salsa Gallery in El Barrio in New York City and a year ago he shares it with friends, contacts, tourists and the community.

He has been a percussionist for the last 40 years and is passionate about music, singing it, producing it, composing it, telling it, living it today and keeping it alive forever. He has worked closely with some of the most outstanding Latin musicians in the business throughout his career and has been honored with a variety of awards over the years.

At this time, he produces a public access television program for mnn.org called The Windows of Latin America. The program has been on the air weekly for 20 years, and it is the only TV space in New York where salsa is broadcast.

In a few days he will be premiering a collaborative production with Adalberto Santiago, with songs that recap his musical career of more than six decades and have the admiration and gratitude of Cruz. Within the framework of this launch, there will be an event in which great Latin music personalities will meet again at the Spanish Harlem Salsa Gallery to share a fun time with fans and friends.

Since the beginning of this trip, his desire has been to create a space for the community. Sharing these artifacts is their way of giving back to a community that they have had the pleasure of being part of for many years, a bit of their culture and their heritage for the world.

I am 37 years old and I am the mother of a beautiful, intelligent and magical 10 year old girl, who came into my life in 2014.

The eldest of 3 sisters, all of whom are professionals in this country, and Aunt of 1 niece and 1 nephew.

My family is a fundamental support for the development of my entire career, which I will now tell you, thanks to them my parents and sisters always move forward with work, honesty, respect, responsibility and education, values instilled in our home always.

Current resident in the state of La Guaira, specifically in the Carayaca Parish.

Administrator in Customs and International Trade graduated from the Universidad Simon Bolivar USB and Universidad Marítima del Caribe UMC, professionally my main base as a career.

It has been almost 20 years of career in this area of administration and international trade. I am a University Teacher specifically in the area of English Language in its teaching as a foreign language for 2 universities in this country currently I have worked for other institutions teaching Arancel de Aduanas, economic integration, foreign trade , also advertising and marketing, budgeting, marketing for careers such as graphic design, interior design and advertising and marketing ,additionally I got certified in Radio Voiceover in 2018 I started those studies from 2017 to 2018 in the Latin American Institute of voiceover in the Chacao municipality in the city of Caracas.

This study I did in parallel to my work in the administrative area of finance during that time, at that time. Which I started and finished satisfactorily.

The radio broadcasting certification gave us, radio production, radio technical equipment management, diction, public speaking, brand positioning and networking for that time, a very complete course, which allowed us to develop all our skills and abilities to speak into a radio microphone and the general public, this certification required us to design a real radio program, with 1 month test airing with real production, real guests, real recording and airing in a real way, on the web platform (www.radiosinprecedentes.com. ve) of the institute once a week for 1 month, at that time with my study group we designed this format The Metropolis with the help of the teacher of the subject of production is how this group of 5 people 4 women and 1 man designed the format of the program “The Metropolis”, which helped us to pass the subject, practice and experience a radio program which remained as a sketch there, to use in the future if we wanted so, at present each one went different ways inside and outside the country, and have developed different types of programs in the area where they work or simply do not practice radio broadcasting.

In my case I always dreamed of having my own radio space after getting certified because for a natural and authentic reason, from the bottom of my heart I wanted to take the course to get certified and practice radio broadcasting, even if it was for 15 minutes something short or long.

But it was not until the year 2023 that opened the door to have my radio space, after knocking on about 2 to 3 doors, through a lifelong friend who knew I was looking for the opportunity, I was offered this opportunity by the board of IUS radio an innovative radio, and offered me the schedule accepting the proposal and these coincidences and without chronicities of life and destiny, has allowed me to develop The Metropolis every week on Thursdays from 11am to 12pm. Radio space which I am going to comment below:

La Metrópolis an entertainment program transmitted every Thursday from 11am to 12pm by the platform or website www.iusradio.com.ve, in which I am the announcer and main producer of the space, this radio space is a place where we announce and recommend the best places to enjoy and visit in Greater Caracas hence its name La Metrópolis we inform about what is there, what is happening, what is happening, what is new in the most important area of our country, La Guaira, Caracas and Miranda.

This includes all the human beings that live here and their daily activities of importance and impact, human, social, musical, productive, scientific, educational, artistic, cultural, business, commercial, among others, everything that makes life here.

That is why we started in this first year with 3 original sections that I am going to talk about:

Section 1 La Tienda: Varied national and international news. Guide of places to visit and activities in the great caraca.

Section 2 El Café: Space for interviewing our guests (people who contact us or contact me or the production of the station).

Section 3 El Coctel: Space for interaction with our public, contests, gifts, with our fans, collaborators and society.

And that contact with whatsapp networks, Facebook, Instagram, X, fixed or cell phone.

Already after this year, on our own initiative and together with the production of ius radio, an innovative radio station, La Metrópolis has released 2 new sections of our own creation, which I will name below:

Section 4. Cinema City: Space of anecdotes, historical and current curiosities of the 7th art, Cinema.

Section 5 La Pasarela: Space for current trends in national and international fashion.

These sections have these original names to associate them to the city since they are allusive to the activities that we live in a City.

The musicalization is under my selection and musical taste. The musical cut is Pop and Rock in Spanish and English, Ballads in English and Spanish, Bossa Nova, Jazz, Ryth and blues, Venezuelan music, music of national talent, classics of always, Latin music only Salsa, Merengue and finally Rap and Reggaetón, keeping a close eye on the content of messages and lyrics that are not offensive and out of order for our esteemed, valued and exclusive radio audience of my program and the station. I am and we are careful in that out of respect for our listening audience and the national communication laws.

At this time the Metropolis has an approximate or regular audience of 100 to 200 people estimated, with low and high peaks.

This is how in the section in the coffee everyone’s favorite we always have our guests here we have had the opportunity to have in the booth, interviewing from film directors, actresses, singers, dancers, musicians, educators, doctors, lawyers, artisans, music DJ, motivational Coach, holistic healers, therapists, publicists, musical groups, dance groups, music academies, journalists, writers of books and stories, who make life inside and outside the country, but have a common denominator, they have a dream and make this country a better country to live, they are useful to them, their families and society.

A space to project them, and allow them to express and show what they do and their impact, this is how La Metropolis is ready to support any activity that allows human development in its maximum expression. Trusting that we will reach more public with more frontiers promoting everything positive for people for the coming years of professional work.
