DESCRIPTION:
Hispanic Magazine calls "Spanish Harlem's Zon del Barrio, an outfit steeped in nostalgia while exploding into the future." Zon del Barrio brings it's foot-stomping Latin dance drive from the streets of Spanish Harlem to Global Stages. Our CD, Cortijo's Tribe, has been rated among the top ten of 2007 by Radio France, Venezuela's El Magazine de la Salsa and South Florida's WDNA-FM's Fusion Latina."
ZDB is a hi-octane Salsa Dance Band that is intergenerational w/roots in oldskool music from the streets of Latin N. Y. to the urban sounds of Latin jazz & reggaeton. Featuring Fania All-Star Yomo Toro & Sammy Ayala, ZDB brings a bi-lingual & bi-cultural musical experience from Spanish Harlem.
Our CD: Cortijo"s Tribe takes a new turn on dance music creating a party platform built on an Afro-Antillian movement that defined a nation during the 50s and continues to swing into the new century. Our debut recording: Cortijo's Tribe / La Tribu de Cortijo was released in Oct. of 2007 featuring Fania all-star & king of the cuatro Yomo Toro and Cortijo alum, singer/songwriter, Sammy Ayala in a collaborative production between our own independent label, Barrio Zone Music and distributed by Universal Latino and has already received gret reviews from Europe to New York. Cortijo's Tribe / La Tribu de Cortijo has been rated one of the top ten CDs of 2007 by Maya Roy of Radio France and Orlando Lopez of El Magazine de la Salsa in Venezuela.
Zon del Barrio is a play on words for the musical genre of "son" found in all the "barrio zon"es of Latino communities world wide. Bringing dance style classic Afro-Antillian music from the barrios, Zon del Barrio bring its energizing, foot stomping, funk based classic salsa (Afro-Cuban), plena, bomba (Afro-Boricua) & boogalu & reggaeton (urban) to their live performances.
Old skool classic salsa gets a new beat with Zon del Barrio's particular dance tunes expressing the musical soul of the barrios in the style of Puerto Rico's most popular exponent, Cortijo y su Combo. Cortijo's band broke through the color barrier in Puerto Rico in the late 1950s and Zon del Barrio is a tribute to those efforts and a celebration of Afro-Antillian music.
From the plena (popular during the turn of the last century) to the saucy strains of salsa amid the back beat of reggaeton laced with jazz, Zon del Barrio brings the beat of the streets to the hearts of dancers everywhere.

Aurora & Zon Del Barrio played for my fiancee's surprise 50th birthday party and made it a truly special day. Not only are they extremely talented musicians, they are wonderful entertainers and clearly enjoy what they are doing. Our guests had so much fun, danced all day, and loved the beautiful music.
