Borinquen Orchestra - 2018 — Borinquen Orchestra – 2018

Fans can now enjoy this CD, after 10 years of waiting, since the success of their debut album “Trombonist” in 2007. “Pa ‘Que Tú Lo Sepas” presents the most exquisite cocktail Salsero with the most varied styles of US and Latin American.

This recording with duration of 5 years of production and postproduction achieves the goal of telling through their songs, life experiences and stories that include a contribution to the culture of the national Salsa, thanks to its unique sound and the pen of the composers and members of the orchestra: Marco Montoya and Carlos Xavier Soto.

The single “Cha Cha Borinquen 415” is a tale of two songs wrapped in one with an introduction of Cha Cha with a Hard Salsa explosion and the incorporation of percussion solos of the highest energy. The Cuban timba is present in “Carolina” and the Puerto Rican style of Salsa from the old school in “Yo Tengo Una”. In the seventh track you can enjoy the voice of the special guest, Willy Torres (leading vocalist of Spanish Harlem Orchestra) in “La Culebra”, a song with the purest New York style.

“Americano Latino” and “Nosotros” contribute to the album the characteristic sound of the timeless Salsa. The modern Salsa with a touch of pop element is represented by “Ay Negra”, which adds a touch of freshness to the record production. Finally, one of the most important covers in this CD is “Never Knew I Needed” (Salsa version), it is versioned with the mix of both languages: Spanish – English, which gives an inclusive, modern and versatile touch to the song original R&B written by the singer and composer Ne-Yo and is dedicated to the audience that also enjoys this tropical music in the Anglo-Saxon language.

Borinquen Orchestra - Pa' Que Tu Lo Sepas — Borinquen Orchestra – Pa’ Que Tu Lo Sepas

This orchestra of young musicians, and led in principle by Bill Ortega Sr (until 2016), is an entirely familiar musical project where each member had shared with each other previously in other groups, which made the perfect combination of talent and personality that characterizes it nowadays and turns it into “a very polished Salsa band”. Commented Marcos Montoya.

Orquesta Borinquen, named after the Puerto Rican mother of the group’s current leader, Bill Ortega Jr, continues to celebrate the success of “Pa ‘Que Tú Lo Sepas”, their second album and the beginning of many triumphs to come, thanks to their efforts, dedication and perseverance.

Currently, Borinquen keeps on promoting and booking shows throughout California, mainly in the San Francisco Bay area, San Jose, Santa Rosa and Los Angeles.

“We still believe there is more growth to come as our musical skills continue to mature and our sound continuing to be defined, while we keep playing together as a group for many years to come”. Marcos Montoya
