Sat. Aug 15, 2009 ZDB @ the Soundview Music Festival

Zon del Barrio was a featured act of the Soundview Music Festival last Sat. August 15, 2009. Here, lead singer Sammy Rosa rips up Llego la Banda the popular Fania salsa tune that has now been discovered to be written by Peruvian Walter Fuentes and made popular by Willie Colon & Hector LaVoe....Que Bochinche. Our guitarrist Papo Gely, bassist Ruben Lopez & David all got into a rock & jazz mode during the "mambo" portion of the song making the near 90 degree weather get even hotter! And of course, Coritjo's Bochinche could not be left out. With all the political "bochinche" going on in the Bronx, this tune was very appropriate. Musical Dir. David Fernandez took the stage w/ a vengence and Aurora singing El Bochinche was a call to all our haters: "Que Sigan Hablando, que estamos guisando, aqui estoy cantando con Zon del Barrio." Our haters love that we gig the most and pay our musicians well.... ¡Que sigan hablando de Zon del Barrio!

As the Buddha says: "The essence of evil begins with the lack of gratitude." That's the problem w/ all haters... lack of gratitude... no matter what you do for them, get them an apt., bail them outta jail, take them overseas and pay street musicians like pros, they have no gratitude. ¡QUE SIGAN HABLANDO!

Now here's another segment featuring our sonera: Maryann Santiago-Murillo doing her rendtion of Celia Cruz's Quimbara for the more than 5,000 people that attended the Soundview Music Festival on Saturday. Our guitarrist, Papo Gely does a kick ass solo here taking the tune to another level. Great artistry here. Wonderful to work with professionals.
