Folklore Urbano Orchestra-El Barrio Project
El Barrio Project is Pablo Mayor’s ongoing exploration of the rich cultural enclaves that define NYC, and his latest show merges the salsa repertoire from his recent album “El Barrio Project-SALSA” with the next phase of El Barrio Project: repertoire to give homage to his native Colombia, and the Colombian neighborhoods of New York, while continuing his mission of #GlobalMusicToUnify. The concert will feature Pablo Mayor’s original compositions, as well as renowned arrangements and collaborative work with songwriters like Nick Chavarria, and an icon of the historic era of NYC salsa Cruz “Chino” Melao. The music crosses continents and cultures, blending sounds from West Africa, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Cuba, and NYC.
