The
movement known to many as Salsa Romántica or Salsa Monga brought
with it the era of pretty boy crooners of high pitched voices and
the never ending themes of love and sex. The music that a few years
ago had traveled the world under the banner of the drum and the
“sonero” was now essentially forgotten.
The Salsa Brava genre found refuge on the streets of Latin Harlem in
New York and in the projects and barrios of Puerto Rico. It also
continued to live in the hearts of those salseros that treasured the
glory years of the 70’s and never buckled under the attack of other
music genres such as the merengue and the bachata.
Among them, the founding members of Naborí; Wichy Ayala, Robert
Figueroa, and Tony Ayala.
These three musicians of diverse backgrounds came together in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin under one unified goal; to create the best
original Salsa Brava designed for the dancing public. In doing so,
they also sought to revitalize the original music industry in an
area where salsa bands were content with performing covers of
established artist.
With their first CD release "Historias Del Barrio", Naborí
introduces talent that over the years had quietly developed in
Milwaukee. Naborí also encouraged collaboration with top notch
musicians from the neighboring city of Chicago, Illinois.
Naborí’s carefully crafted lyrics reflect the day to day life of
Latinos all over the world. The arrangements hark back to the
traditions of the salseros of old, making their upcoming CD release,
"Historias Del Barrio" part of the renaissance of this genre that is
beloved by salseros worldwide
Naborí brings along the heritage of all those that in spite of
obstacles and tribulations, created the music that gave life to a
new civilization; the music of the new world. SALSA MUSIC
