What is La Sonora Libre?
La Sonora Libre is a music project that involves 12 musicians from 8 different nationalities, 2 arrangers, 1 sound engineer, 1 graphic designer and 1 audiovisual producer. All of us work together to produce and show our music as an original, honest and comprehensive cultural product with strong latino roots. La Sonora Libre expresses and says what it thinks and lives by singing about day-to-day things from a frank, critical, constructive, solidary, positive and cheerful perspective. And we do this using the key we know best how to play and identify us: Salsa.
Why “More than Salsa”?
La Sonora libre takes the message delivered through music as a very important element whether it is transmitted via the lyrics or the music itself. We have seen how through the years social content has been omitted from Salsa, depriving it from one of the main reasons embedded in its birth as a musical genre. The way we conceive Salsa is by including that social content claim and singing to it with honesty and cheerfulness thanks to the dance language of salsa. In the same way with the musical arrangements, we don´t play salsa music because it´s commercial or fashionable; for us this music is part of our way of being, it is our way of expressions. That’s why “More Than Salsa”, because it´s music for dance and think.
