Bringing
dance style classic Afro-Boricua music from the barrios, Aurora & Zon
del Barrio bring its foot stomping, funk based classic salsa,
plena, merengue, bomba & boogalu to the corners of the
Barrios where Latinos live, work and play. Creative, musically
diverse in taste while resourceful in survival, Latinos from
the barrio zones have sophisticated tastes in music that is
not relegated to one particular genre. Zon del Barrio emerges
as one of the few orchestras to express the varied genres of
Latin music from the African Diaspora and the urban streets
of New York.
Born in Ensenada, Puerto Rico as the son of an amateur guitarist, Yomo
Toro grew to have a five-decade career as one of New York City's most
respected Latin musicians. Toro's instrument of choice was the cuatro,
a Puerto Rican 10-string guitar-like instrument descended from the Spanish
Vilhuela. He recorded Tribute to Arsenio with the Larry Harlow
Orchestra -- an incredibly influential salsa album. Toro also got to
hook up with some legends in 1970 when he recorded the classic Asalto
Navideño with Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe, combining the
new sounds of NewYork salsa with traditional Puerto Rican Christmas
music
