spanish harlem occupies the lower southeastern corner of harlem itself. the musical contribution of this neighborhood is the last great chapter in the history of 20th century music in america.....remarkably, it is a story that remains largely untold. el barrio, as it is called within the community, has been the birthplace for salsa, latin soul, boogaloo & countless other variants within the tropical latin idiom. from tito puente to marc anthony, this small enclave has exerted a monumental effect on the sound of american music today. using the most accomplished players in the new york latino community, this album features a cross-section of compositions that create a bridge into this exhilarating place.
