The musical collaboration between the British ensemble “Classico Latino” and the Colombian salsa legend Fruko in their new album “Salsa Classics”, is an unprecedented cross-cultural instrumental work where a unique and interesting fusion of Latin and classical music is crafted with beautiful musicality and vibrant rhythmical virtuosity.
Blending Fruko’s unique salsa and tropical music style with Classico Latino’s smooth sound and virtuosity of the classical tradition, including the special collaboration of legendary jazz violinist Omar Puente, this work brings fresh perspective on the world of Latin-American music, breathing new life into a selection of iconic salsa songs that had never been played before with classical instruments.
This work is a unique treat for salsa and Latin-Jazz music lovers, and a true inspiration for all generations of performers, dancers and instrumental music fans in UK, Europe, US and of course, all over Latin America.
