Catalino “Tite” Curet Alonso, the most important composer in the history of Latin music.

(Guayama, 1927 – Baltimore, United States, 2003) Puerto Rican composer considered the most important author of salsa music in his country and one of the most outstanding Latin American composers of the second half of the 20th century.

His songs, produced throughout a fertile creative career that gave birth to more than two thousand pieces, were brought to fame by the most famous interpreters of the genre (Rubén Blades, Tito Rodríguez, Celia Cruz, Cheo Feliciano or Willie Colón, among others).

The son of an orchestra musician and a seamstress, Tite grew up in a working class neighborhood in Santurce, where he remained after his parents separated.

Curet Alonso, the most important composer in the history of Latin music.

Ismael Miranda Carrero “El Niño Bonito of the Fania All Stars”

Where did Ismael Miranda’s artistic nickname “El Niño Bonito de la Salsa” (The Pretty Boy of Salsa), with which he became known, come from?

I liked to dress up and look nice for the presentations on one occasion I went to the hairdresser’s and bought a suit for the show when I arrived at the hotel, Johnny Pacheco said to me: ‘How nice, the pretty boy is late! As always.

And from that day on they called me “El niño bonito de la salsa” (the pretty boy of salsa). Pacheco gave the nicknames to everyone in the Fania All Stars.

Johnny Pacheco had a lot of faith when he came up with the idea of making this movie and it was a success.

People vibrated with our songs and we took advantage of 4 emblematic concerts to record it.

That’s how we have to walk through life. It is enough to know that we are doing things right to reap triumphs. Said the trumpet player and composer.

Perico also took the opportunity to tell where all that tasty Caribbean rhythm comes from, of which they are such good exponents. “The folklore of Latin American music was born in Africa”. He recalled the first time he arrived with La Fania to this continent. He still has in his mind the gesture of the Africans when he saw people from other parts of the world playing the congas like masters. We all felt proud, he said.

Miranda also recalled that on August 6, 1980, he arrived for the first time in Barranquilla to present a concert with Héctor Lavoe.

“We were used to performing on huge stages and singing with a well achieved sound; in Barranquilla there was nothing like that, but something magical happened, the affection and joy of the people infected us.

Hector and I gave a show of height, at the end we realized that we enjoyed it completely with all the people of Barranquilla.

During the conference, Perico Ortiz explained why he never recorded an album with Las Estrella de la Fania.

“I never recorded an album, but I participated in many concerts. At that moment I felt in my heart that it was time to sing and I told Jerry Masucci to give me the opportunity, but he did not see me as an artist, but as a trumpet player and arranger, so I decided to retire from La Fania and concentrated on recording my first album as a soloist in 1977 titled My Own Image”.

Ismael was born in Aguada, in western Puerto Rico, but as a child his family settled in New York. He began singing in English in school plays when he was only eight years old, and was even part of a children’s group called “Little Junior in the Class Mate”.

Soon after, he began taking singing lessons at a music school at 46th and Broadway, and then to improve his singing skills he studied with a music teacher recommended to him by Tito Rodriguez.

The environment in which he grew up helped him cultivate his love for music. First he wanted to be a percussionist and not a vocalist. That is why at the age of 10 he told his mother of his desire to buy a conga. Later he acquired a bongo, which resounded throughout the neighborhood. He got to play the conga in Andy Harlow’s sextet, and was part of the Sexteto Pipo y su Combo. But he finally turned to singing, for which he was assisted by Ismael Rivera.

He made his first recording in 1967 with José Luis Pastrana Santos, a musician, composer and timbalero from Santurce, known as Joey Pastrana, on the album Let’s Ball.

This album, recorded for the Cotique label, contains Ismael Miranda’s first big hit, the song “Rumbón melón”.

Panama, its music and performers and its best places for Salsa dancing

Panama is a country located on the isthmus linking Central and South America. The Panama Canal, a famous landmark of human engineering, crosses its center and links the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to create an essential maritime route.

In the capital, Panama City, modern clubs, casinos and skyscrapers contrast with the colonial buildings of Casco Viejo and the jungle of the Metropolitan Natural Park.

As every country also has its native music, La Murga is a musical genre performed by street groups, used mainly in carnivals in different provinces of Panama. La Murga was created by local musician Manuel Consuegra Gómez.

Murgas generally include the interpretation of songs in chorus, with voices accompanied by percussion instruments. These groups also have dancers who perform steps characteristic of the genre, including jumps and other acrobatics.

“Hey, let’s dance the murga

The murga of Panama

This is an easy thing

And very good for dancing

Ay tu tienes un caminao

That has me upset

And when you dance La Murga

Hey mamita how good you are

Murga pa’quí, murga pa’llá

(This is the murga of Panama)” Composers: Willie Colon / Hector Lavoe.

Panamá, its music and performers and its best places for Salsa dancing

This country has produced important musicians, singers, composers and sportsmen linked to Latin music.

Camilo Azuquita, Gabinete Pampini, José Luis Gracia “Chino Garcia”, to name a few.

To name a few.

Composer Aceves Núñez, accordion player and singer of typical Panamanian music.

Ricardo Fábrega composer of “Taboga”, Carlos Almarán composer of the song “Historia de un Amor”, Erika Ender author of the song “Despacito”, renowned composer Omar Alfano, Franciasco Buckley, Busch y sus Magníficos, pioneer of salsa in Panama.

Raúl Gallimore, Rubén “Yindo” Rodríguez, Manny “Bolaños, Papi Arasomett.

Some years before Blades arrived in New York (the city where he became known), figures such as Miguel Barcasnegras better known as Meñique, Victor Paz, Emilio Reales, Mauricio Smith and many others were struggling among the greats of this type of music in the big city.

All of them, making their way and making a breakthrough to achieve, based on pure talent, a privileged place for Panamanians in the musical environment, where at that time the Cuban and Puerto Rican presence dominated.

Roberto Delgado, Salsaswing, who recently recorded with Rubén Blades, is also Panamanian.

Later on, already in the movement of what was officially baptized as salsa, the most outstanding names are Francisco Buckley, better known as Bush, Roberto y su Zafra and Toti Pino’s Los Excelentes; Orlando Barroso and Los Salvajes del Ritmo, the group where Rubén Blades’ career began, also have their distinction.

All of them, making their way and making a breakthrough to achieve, based on pure talent, a privileged place for Panamanians in the music scene, where at the time the Cuban and Puerto Rican presence dominated. The future of salsa in Panama is promising.

Cartographer Ernesto Jiménez points out that the combination of music, talent, promotion and public acceptance opened the door for maestro Omar Alfano to become, without a doubt, one of the most successful composers. La Kshamba, Sociedad Anónima, Orquesta Yaré, Roberto Delgado, Soundcheck, La 507, are just some of the good salsa orchestras in Panama.

Women are not left behind, singer Anita Barroso stands out with her talent and defends the place of women in the Panamanian salsa scene; while singers Luis Lugo, Tony Flores and Victor Jaramillo, are making their way in their careers choosing salsa as their source.

Musicians like Ricky Salas and maestro Danilo Pérez found in salsa and in their country, the ideal base to develop their successful careers. Others became allies of salsa; announcers such as El Capitán Luis Gooding, Erick de Icaza, El Gigante de la Salsa; Jimmy Dawson; Moisés Rodríguez; El Lobo Edy Molina; Johnny Salsa; Eddie Vázquez and Valentín Ortega, among others, have defended the genre through the radio waves and, in some cases, venturing out as entrepreneurs.

The initiative to talk about Panama and its people linked to salsa is great and I know that it is not easy to touch on several aspects in an article.

One of them is the Barrio El Chorrillo, for all that it represented for Ismael Rivera, practically to turn his life around.

Sorolo was a protagonist of this, famous for his fried fish and his friendship with Maelo.

Sorolo, Mery and Cuñón, people named by Maelo in his proclamation of El Nazareno, who accompanied him to carry the Negrón.

Another important character of El Chorrillo is Mano’e Piedra Duran, who thanks to fame and money, made an orchestra, “Alegria”. Where he has an active business where salsa is always present.

Néstor Sánchez “Maestro de Soneros¨.

Born in 1950 in New York, of Puerto Rican origin, he is considered by critics as one of the soneros with the best vocal technique.

Harlow was recording the album “La Raza Latina” for which Sanchez performed one song and the rest was in charge of the Panamanian Ruben Blades where he musically created the history of Nuestra Raza, from the Amerindians, the Spanish conquest, and the arrival of the black African slave.

The album, “El Albino Divino”, was one of his official presentations with the orchestra, with the Harlow Orchestra he spent almost ten years and recorded seven albums, among these: Rumbambola, Dulce aroma del éxito, Soy Latino.

1979 Harlow disbanded his orchestra, Sanchez also recorded with Tito Puente’s orchestra the song “Bonito y Sabroso” in the LP “Homenaje a Beny Moré” which won a Grammy award for Puente.

In 1984 he recorded the production Julio Castro y La Masacre, in 1990 he was released as a soloist in the romantic wave with the album Como Nunca.

Nestor Sanchez "El Albino Divino". With the Greatest Elegance the Golden Voice of Salsa — Néstor Sánchez “Maestro de Soneros¨

In the year 2000 he was invited by the King of Bass Mr. Bobby Valentin to participate in the album La Gran Reunión, and in all the recordings where he participated as the first voice in the chorus.

This talented man, whom we consider one of the most outstanding voices in our music, and sonero of soneros, never had the recognition he truly deserved. As a tribute and vindication, the February 2017 Salsero of our page is dedicated to him in a heartfelt and sincere way.

As a singer, Néstor Sánchez loved Cuban music and considered himself an admirer of Abelardo Barroso, Beny Moré and Miguelito Cuni, and from La Isla del Encanto his favorites were Tito Rodríguez and Ismael Rivera, in whom he was most likely inspired to create his own style.

His musical career began at the age of 19 in New York in 1968 with Ray Rodríguez’s orchestra. His first recording was the same year and was entitled Introducing Ray Rodriguez and his Orchestra; the second, in 1969 and with this same orchestra, was called Delusion, these two musical works were made for Al Santiago’s label “Alegre Records”.

In 1970, Néstor Sánchez joined Tony Pabón’s orchestra with which he recorded six albums in LP format, these musical productions are: in 1970, Tony Pabon And His All-Stars and La Protesta With Tony Pabón: Free; in 1972, On The Right Track; in 1973, Introducing Néstor Sánchez; in 1974, Tony Pabón & La Protesta Featuring Néstor Sánchez – El Capitán; and in 1976, Tony Pabón Y La Nueva Protesta – Fango – Pura Salsa, Puro Disco.

After his time with La Protesta, El Albino Divino joined Conjunto Candela, with whom he produced an LP entitled Conjunto Candela.

In 1976, he joined the orchestra of “El Judío Maravilloso” Larry Harlow as lead vocalist, replacing the Puerto Rican singer Junior González. With that, he became one of the stars of the Fania label. Between 1977 and 1984 he recorded the albums La Raza Latina – A Salsa Suite, El Albino Divino, Rumbambola; Larry Harlow & Junior González – Our Latin Feeling / Nuestro Sentimiento Latino; El dulce aroma del éxito; Larry Harlow, Canta: Gary Carrión / Así Soy Yo; Larry Harlow – Yo Soy Latino and Larry Harlow / Señor Salsa, featuring the young singer Ray Pérez.

Between 1968 and 1984, Néstor Sánchez was not only part of the orchestras of Ray Rodríguez, Tony Pabón, Conjunto Candela and Larry Harlow. He also recorded with King Nando, Orchestra Colon, Los Hermanos López, Yambú, Andy Harlow, Adalberto Santiago, Charlie Palmieri, Ismael Rivera, Tito Puente, Willie Colón, El Conjunto Libre, Azuquita y Su Melao, Fania All Stars and Louie Ramírez.

Throughout the eighties, Néstor Sánchez’s career had a second stage, in which he participated in musical works as a singer and backing vocalist for other great stars of our musical firmament, such as Héctor Lavoe, Típica 73, Ray Barretto, Julio Castro y La Masacre, Rubén Blades y Seis del Solar, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda, Oscar D’ León, Celia Cruz and Bobby Valentín.

It is presumed that in his more than three decades of music he participated in some two hundred musical works, about half of which are presented in our “Discography” section, available on our web page. Her voice was also recorded in many musical works of the so-called salsa romántica.

Among the songs that the beautiful voice of our great Albino Divino left us, we highlight numbers such as: “Amor pa’ qué”, “Averigua”, “Bobo tú te quedarás”, “Bonito y sabroso”, “Compay, póngase Duro”, “Con la mayor elegancia”, “El bobito”, “El diablo viene”, “Madre”, “Mentiroso”, “Quasimodo”, “Suena La Quija”, “Va llover”, “Guaguancó para los soneros” and “Vamos a gozar”. Our great sonero also recorded some songs in English.

Finally, we repeat that the present investigative work on the musical life of the great singer, chorister, arranger and composer Néstor Sánchez, “El Albino Divino”, is a tribute to his musical legacy with which the section “El salsero del mes” of our web page www.latinastereo.com wants to remember and keep all his work in force. Néstor Sánchez will remain forever in the hearts of the salseros of the world.

On September 2, 2003, Néstor Sánchez passed away at the age of 54 at his home in Bronx County, New York, after losing a battle with lung cancer.

Born in 1950 in New York, of Puerto Rican origin, he is considered by critics as one of the soneros with the best vocal technique. Nestor Sanchez "El Albino Divino". — Born in 1950 in New York, of Puerto Rican origin, he is considered by critics as one of the soneros with the best vocal technique.
