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.

He studied music theory and solfeggio with professor Jorge Rubián, and in 1965 he wrote his first melodies for Joe Quijano, one of the best pachangueros of the time.

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

Frederlyn Mayora returns to Venezuela to sing Salsa Romántica to the dancing public.

Last Friday, April 22, at 7:00 p.m., a concert was presented at the Juana Sujo Hall of the Casa del Artista, in Quebrada Honda, Caracas. Tickets are already on sale at popular prices.

After several years out of the country, Venezuelan singer Frederlyn Mayora returns to Venezuela to relaunch his musical career and sing Salsa Romántica to Venezuelan dancers and music lovers.

Mayora, who has been part of the orchestras of Tony Vega, Maelo Ruiz, Jose Alberto “El Canario”, Luisito Carrion and Tito Nieves, among others, arrives in the country with a single called “Viernes Romantico” that promises to be a hit in a short time.

“I want everyone to know what I am doing and what I come to do in Venezuela”, said the singer who now has his own orchestra.

The singer will be in Venezuela until the end of his musical production loaded with romantic Salsa, ballads and merengues.

On April 1 and 2, Mayora offered a couple of concerts called “After Party de los Hermanos Primera”, that is to say, he performed in a well-known venue of the CCCT as soon as the presentation of the renowned singers Servando and Florentino was over, and it was a full house.

On Friday, April 8, at 4:00 pm, he will offer a press conference at the Doris Wells Hall of the Casa del Artista in order to announce in detail the entire agenda that he will fulfill on Venezuelan soil.

On Friday, April 22, he offered a concert at the Juana Sujo Hall of the Casa del Artista, located on Amador Bendayán Boulevard, Quebrada Honda, Caracas.

The event was scheduled for 7:00 pm. The occasion will be propitious to record a video click.

All Frederlyn Mayora’s events and presentations are in charge of her manager, Humberto Gonzalez, president of Producciones Salsayer.

A little bit of history

Frederlyn Alejandro Mayora Martínez, was born on July 27, 1982, in the populous Sucre Parish, west of Caracas, Venezuela.

He is a musician, singer and percussionist. At the age of 9 he began his musical studies, especially in percussion. He belonged to the estudiantina Héctor Pacheco and spent several years at the Bigott Foundation, where he received master classes with Professor Rodolfo González.

When Mayora turned 15 years old, he decided to focus his musical career as a singer and it is when the producer Humberto González, currently director of the Salsayer Orchestra, took him to sing in several salsa groups in Venezuela, among them, “Herencia”, “Neo Latino” and “El Combo Antillano”, among others.

In 2003 he moved to Spain, specifically to Galicia. There he became part of the orchestras “Panama”, “Filadelfia” and “Orquesta TV”, among others. His artistic commitments reached the beautiful city of Santander, located in the North of Spain, where he performed ballads, salsa and merengue.

In addition to the aforementioned orchestras, Frederlyn Mayora has been the lead voice in groups such as “Ekilibrio”, “La Junior”, “Mandinga Star Band”, “Puma Band”, “Patatín Orquesta” and the “Máquina de la Salsa” and has accompanied in the chorus, since 2002 to date, renowned singers such as “Maelo” Ruiz, José Alberto “El Canario”, Tony Vegas, Luisito Carrión and Charlie Aponte, former member of the Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.

Dislocados is a group from Ukraine that is taking Salsa to the whole world.

Dislocados Ukrainian Latin American band, exploded onto the Kyiv music scene as the Kiev Salsa Kings in November 2005.

Led by Ilya Yeresko, one of Ukraine’s most respected young pianists and composers, with – among others – Dennis Adu (named best jazz musician in Ukraine at the Dodj Competition 2009) they started playing in Kyiv’s best live music bars.

This first salsa band in Ukraine was soon joined by Karolina Patocki and Lesya Zdorovetskaya, finalizing the group’s vocal flavor, and now the 10-piece band has become a force to be reckoned with in the country.

Dislocados’ new name, literally translated as “dislocated”, plays on the crazy personality of the band, and the idea that the birth country of the musicians does not dictate their musical direction and expertise.

While continuing to perform three times a week to live audiences around Ukraine, on February 10th 2008, Dislocados made its world debut by being the first international Hard Salsa band aired on Hard Salsa Radio and on WHUT 91.9 FM in New York City with their promotional song “Resaca.”

Minutes after “Resaca” aired, emails poured in like wildfire from worldwide listeners asking for more information on this particular band from an unknown land, which led to Dislocados’ inclusion in Salsa Dura Mundial, a worldwide salsa compilation album out of New York from Latin Soul Records.

After gaining popularity in New York and Western Europe, Dislocados released the first salsa album to come out of Ukraine, with an intro written by salsa legend Andy Harlow, featuring ten original salsa tracks, inspired from Puerto Rico, New York, and Cuba.

Since its release, La Salida has enjoyed overwhelming international praise from top musicians such as Jimmy Bosch and Andy Harlow, promotion from top respected salsa review sites such as descarga.com and has led to the band’s inclusion in international salsa projects, such as the Summer Salsa Festival in Stockholm where the band played with Huey Dunbar, of DLG fame.

Dislocados’ internationally recognized top musicianship is now the vehicle by which they try to popularize the musical style of Hard Salsa in Ukraine in order to include their country among the list of top contenders for worldwide attention in the genre.

La Sonora Ponceña Returns To Salsa County

The only performance with Yolanda Rivera & Mario “Mayito” Rivera will be at the Lehman Center

The name “La Sonora Ponceña” is in honor of the Cuban band La Sonora Matancera and its hometown (Ponce – Puerto Rico)

La Sonora Ponceña “National Treasure of Puerto Rico” together with its leader Enrique Arsenio “Papo” Lucca returns to Salsa County (The Bronx) with the special guests Yolanda Rivera and the Cuban singer Mario “Mayito” Rivera (former member of Los Van Van) onstage at one of New York’s leading non-profit performing arts centers, Lehman Center.

This unique presentation, long-awaited by its fans, will be on Saturday, May 14^th at 8 PM at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts located at 250 Bedford Park Blvd West, Bronx, New York 10468 and the online price per ticket ranges from between $45 – $100. https://www.lehmancenter.org/sonora-poncena

La Sonora Ponceña gained popularity in 1960 during its trip to New York City to give a series of presentations and established itself as one of the most demanded orchestras among Hispanics.

The legendary band, for more than 65 years, has made uninterrupted performances and has been recognized as one of the best Salsa orchestras for its fusion of traditional Cuban sounds with the modern style of Latin Jazz.

In 1967, under the direction of Papo Lucca, they released the first LP Hachero Pa’ Un Palo with the Inca label (a subsidiary of Fania). This album was an overwhelming success in New York as well as its second record production Fuego en el 23 (1969). The famous band from Puerto Rico recorded 29 more albums for this record label, including eight with the singer Yolanda Rivera, La Ceiba with Cuban singer Celia Cruz (1979), and in 1980 New Heights from which they began to establish the internationalization of the orchestra.

Musical Hegemony consists of 8 tracks including Caminando Con Mi Padre, Nadie Toca Como Yo, and Borrachera

This last year (2021), during the pandemic period, La Sonora Ponceña launched two new record productions: Hegemonía Musical (June 2021) and Christmas Star (November 2021).

The last one is the fourth Christmas-themed album in his career. “Thirteen years after our last Christmas production, we seek to present a record work that is a true reflection of the sound and musical quality that we always want to offer our audience”, Papo Lucca told digital media.

While “Salsa Que Cura To” is the first single taken from their most recent album Hegemonía Musical and whose authorship and interpretation is by Jorge Nicolai Avilés (vocalist of the band) with musical arrangements by Papo. Musical Hegemony, nominated in the Tropical Album of the Year category at the Billboard 2021 awards, was made with great dedication and professionalism as indicated on its official social media. “…We thank the public for the support they have been giving to this latest album that was worked with much love and dedication to the memory of our always remembered Enrique “Quique” Lucca Caraballo (RIP) and all our dear followers… And we will continue working as we have been doing for 67 years to place in your consideration what best of our music, soul, perseverance, and professionalism that seek to bring joy and enjoyment to all our dancers… Thank you very much!”

The song “Borinquen” (1980) with Sonora Ponceña becomes her a famous Salsa star

Yolanda Rivera will also perform at this event. She was born in Ponce (Puerto Rico) and moved to New York City with her family during her childhood. Her first opportunity as a singer was in 1969 in Willie Rosario’s band. In 1975 she returned to Puerto Rico and performed in several orchestras, including Joe Rodríguez’s La Terrifica. Her career reached its peak when she joined La Sonora Ponceña in 1977. The song “Borinquen” from the album Unchained Forcede (1980), a musical tribute to her native country (Puerto Rico), made her a Salsa star. Yolanda Rivera is considered one of the main and most famous singers of La Sonora Ponceña with songs like “Rumba en el Patio” and “Madrugador”. Her repertoire includes Salsa, Plena, Bolero, Guaguancó, Son Montuno, and Guaracha.

Mario “Mayito” Rivera (El Poeta de La Rumba)

The second special guest tonight will be Mario “Mayito” Rivera. His vocal skill and masterful interpretation of Cuban music in modern and traditional styles earned him the nickname “El Poeta de La Rumba”. Mayito was born in Pinar del Río (Cuba) and has training degrees from the National School of Art and the Higher Institute of Art. After his educational training in Cuba, he joined the band of the Cuban singer Albita Rodríguez and played bass in the Moncada group. From 1992 to 2011, Mayito was the lead voice and face of the successful Cuban band, Los Van Van, earning a Latin GRAMMY® and two nominations with them.
