A SALSA Suite in Miami: LARRY HARLOW
Afro-Cuban rhythms explode in Larry Harlow‘s jazz-meets-salsa music event! La Raza Latina is the magnum opus of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner, pianist, composer and salsa innovator Larry Harlow.
La Raza Latina is the magnum opus of the Grammy-winning pianist/composer/arranger Larry Harlow, one of the key artists of the legendary Fania Record label. Premiered in 1977 when the New York salsa scene was in full swing, the music explores the African roots of Latin music with each part of the suite progressing in time and space from the origins of salsa in Africa, to its roots in the Caribbean, through its development in New York and finally into a visionary future.
Featuring a 45-piece orchestra, chorus, dancers and an all-star lineup of musicians, La Raza Latina: A Salsa Suite will have you dancing in the aisles on this amazing journey of Latin music – from salsa’s African roots, to the Caribbean islands, to the streets of New York – all brought to life on stage in the Knight Concert Hall!
