According to the latest World Values Survey released in March 2005, Puerto Ricans consider themselves happier than any other people on earth.
They credit their emphasis on extended family, an easy warmth among even strangers and the readiness to celebrate anything at any time makes their quality of life higher than anyone else's anywhere on earth. So come celebrate w/ the happiest people in the world the LAST Parranda of the season.....

Los Monstritos…New Wave Percussion from the Barrio Zone
This ensemble of young, virtuoso percussionists hurtles headlong into a variety of Latin musical genres – from plena to bachata, from bomba to boogalu, salsa, rumba and merengue, but with their own twist reflecting the hip-hop and reggaetón rhythms of their neighborhoods. They are: Nelson Matthew González, scion of one of the great families of Afro-Puerto Rican music; Oreste Abrantes, a Cuban-Puerto Rican powerhouse conguero; Jason Gonzalez, Bongo Virtuoso and Kyle Mathews on vocals. They are joined in their debut concert by Orq. Zon del Barrio.[/i] Los Monstritos are pupils of some of the greatest Latin percussion masters in New York. Their music is sometimes hip, sometimes steeped in nostalgia…and it explodes into the future.
Musical Director: David Fernandez

Zon del Barrio on tour of the French Caribbean Oct. 28 – 31
We're back to the French Caribbean this time to Martinique & Guadaloupe with the big band. We'll be backing up legendary Cuban trumpet player: Chocolate Armenteros.
The French West Indies encompass a number of islands located in the Eastern Caribbean. Guadeloupe is an archipelago of nine inhabited islands, including Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Desirade, Iles des Saintes (2), Saint-Barthelemy (St. Bart), Iles de la Petite Terre, and St. Martin (French part of the island of Saint Martin). The Island of Martinique is also a French possession but is not considered part of the Guadeloupe archipelago.
More details to come.

SAT. July 2, 2011 ZDB @ Lincoln Ctr. w/ Eddy Zervigon & Larry Harlow
Here's a clip from the concert w/ Aurora & Orq. Zon del Barrio w/ Larry Harlow & Eddy Zervigon: ¡A GoSalza!
Zon del Barrio brings their hip-shaking, funk-based salsa, plena, and boogaloo from the corners of El Barrio to Damrosch Park. Using creative arrangements of some of the most popular songs of the genres, they update Nuyorican traditions with a real love of the cultures that created them. Aurora has enlisted two bona-fide legends: Puerto Rican cuatro master Yomo Toro and piano titan Larry Harlow, “el Judio Maravilloso.”
One of the few orchestras to express the varied genres of Latin music from the African Diaspora and the urban streets of NY. Zon del Barrio is led by Aurora w/ musical direction provided by David Fernandez.
