Rubén Blades has a fabulous new album that defies the SALSWING genre! with the Roberto Delgado Orchestra. Fusing salsa and jazz, the album comes out this Friday, April 16.
The album will also be released in separate editions, SALSA PLUS! on April 23 and SWING! April 30. For now it is digital, but there will be physical copies at a later date.
“SALSWING! As an album it has different purposes. One, to present the Roberto Delgado Orchestra as an ensemble capable of expanding its original Panamanian roots to encompass other musical genres, ”says Blades. “Another, to present my interest in exploring other vocal directions and thus eliminate the stereotype that affirms that we are conditioned to exist only artistically within specific limits, according to our nationality. Perhaps the most important point is to exemplify that, as artists, we direct our music to the world, not just to a specific segment of its population. "
