The 13 member Spanish Harlem Orchestra under the direction Oscar Hernandez was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award and world acclaim as one of the finest exponents of Salsa and Latin/Jazz music. They have spearhead a revival of Afro-Cuban music performing a classic-meets-contemporary repertoire including original compositions grounded in the musical legacy of El Barrio, the Latin Soul, and Salsa which rose from the rich culture of the New York’s Eastside south of 125th St. A salsa party will preceed the performance in the Science Center lobby with salsa lessons and refreshments. Come party with us! Click here for
