Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra - Latin, Salsa
We are so excited that WSO is coming back to AotL and the Summer Concerts. Their past visits were sensational; their appearances had two of the largest audiences we have ever had. Based in Brooklyn but with their musicians' roots in Puerto Rico and South America, WSO imparts its infectious energy to all.
The Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra is a thrilling large salsa group which plays dynamic, dura arrangements of indie rock tunes we love. No bananas in the hair; this is innovative, astonishing salsa with a new, vibrant aesthetic. With an ever-evolving set list that includes songs by Arcade Fire, TV On The Radio, Spoon, M83, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Black Keys, and many more, the WSO has taken the typical salsa form and infused it with a completely modern identity. The explosive arrangements have established the band as a groundbreaking force in the New York underground, and has led to international acclaim for its completely new approach to the genre.
The WSO has been featured recently at TEDx Bushwick, New Year’s Eve 2014 at The Kennedy Center, in Rolling Stone Magazine (on the Latin Hot List), and on MTV Iggy, Telemundo, Univision, and on the nationally syndicated program LatiNation on Fox. Recent shows include Blue Note Jazz Festival at B.B.Kings 42nd Street, The Brooklyn Bowl, SOBs (Sounds of Brazil), The Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Subrosa, Musikfest PA, and many more.
