DESCRIPTION:
Grammy nominated 21 piece Orchestra with the best in traditional tropical Latin Music. Perfoming their own original music and the all time hits of Perez Prado, Frankie Ruiz, Alvaro Carrillo & Rafael Hernadez, among others. A runaway Mambo Machine. 47th Annual GRAMMY Awards 2005 nominee 'Best Traditional Tropical' Category.
4th Annual Independent Music Awards 2005 WINNER. 'Best Latin Album' 'The ensemble clearly ranks among the country's most persuasive performers of bolero, rumba, merengue and other afro-Caribbean musical forms'
'The 911 band has achieved an elusive balance between a robust performance style and a high degree of ensemble precision'
Live concert Review by Howard Reich. Tribune Arts Critic. Published Jan 29th, 2005. For the full Concert review and opinion go to: 'The Mambo Kings of the Midwest', 'Chicago's reigning Latin dance band kings' CS Magazine (Chicago Social, a Modern Luxury Publication) October 2004. 'Classics such as Prado's Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White and Que Rico el mambo, Rafael Hernandez's El Cumbanchero, Puente's A Gozar Timbero and the immortal Besame Mucho, will have you dancing instantly. As for the original tracks Mambo a la Sandoval, Ven Pa' Que Goze and Chango, Melendez and orchestra let loose with explosive arrangements and a run away swing worthy of a super mambo machine. Their Merengue version of the international classic Havah Nagilah will definately blow you away.'
Gilbert Rivera. Latin Beat Magazine. Oct 2004.
