LA FANTASTICA

Salsa the year after 2011 
We all wonder way latin salsa has changed within the last decade. I believe the music has change for the better but, it lacks sabor. The new wave musicians come on the stage doing the usual entertaining with great aspiration of becoming the key figure in the group and that’s what drives the player. But, what drives me insane, where is the history of the pioneers. The musicians who pave the roads for, the newbie. When interviewing the next horn player or, singer about what was then and what is now, they get lost in conversation. This gives me the opportunity to provide them with history. Performing on the stage is a good thing but, before you climb the final steps behind the lights know why, your able to be there. Respect the history of the musicians, who made that same stage their home.The formation of La Fantastica is up and coming in the music industry as once before. We are bringing the roots, of latin salsa with sabor back on stage, with two key players from the past Sam Leon and brother jl Leon. If you follow up on Facebook, Youtube  and or Google you’ll find La Fantastica. A forth coming blog on (www.Leonjl.blogspot.com), is being implemented for your viewing. The percussionist mentioned below are the driving force of the group. They provide a strong presents, bringing sabor into salsa. These musicians are a team of perfection, when you asked them what’s up, they reply “studio time”, they love what they do.
