Salsa Sundays With the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra April 24, 2011

The Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra is unlike any band you've heard before. It's a traditional 11-piece Latin band that plays dynamic arrangements of indie rock tunes. With an ever-evolving set list that includes songs by Yeaseayer, Japanther, Animal Collective, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Peter Bjorn and John, The Mars Volta, Arcade Fire, and many more, the WSO will make a salsa-believer out of you. Led by percussionist/arranger Gianni Mano, (from the Brooklyn Latin-funk legends Radio Mundial), the WSO contains some of the best young players on the scene including a full compliment of horns and percussion. With the attitude of a rock band, and the grooves of classic New York salsa, the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra is redefining salsa for a new decade and resetting the boundaries of the art form.
