Great Traditions: Orquesta SCC at Emelin Theatre

When Jose Vazquez-Cofresi of La Excelencia disbanded his old group to form Orquesta Salsa Con Conciencia (Salsa with Conscience), he was taking a gamble. It has paid off in spectacular style: the group’s first album, Renacimiento, meaning rebirth or renaissance, has topped the Latin charts and won best salsa album awards globally. An 11-piece band bringing vitality and social awareness back to the genre of salsa dura, Orquesta SCC have exploded onto the international scene.
