“La Salsa Eterna ,” a song built on a strong traditional identity and a team of high-profile musicians and technicians. The result is a production that aims to enhance classic salsa with a modern approach, without losing the genre’s rhythmic and orchestral power.
An arrangement with a classical character
The song’s arrangement is by
Jesús “El Niño” Alejandro , a musician known for his style faithful to the Colombian and Puerto Rican salsa dura. The orchestration follows the genre’s traditional structure: a powerful horn section, an aggressive rhythmic base, and a piano that guides the harmony and tumbao.
A well-calibrated technical production
The music production is entrusted to
Félix Cedeño , who also takes care of the bass part, ensuring a solid line that is well integrated into the mix.
The team of musicians involved includes:
Luis Bravo Caicedo – Trumpets
José León – Trombones
Yomar “Caballo” Méndez – Percussion
Elio Lazo – Piano
Larry Hidalgo & Ruisdael Chinga – Backing vocals
The result is an ensemble that dialogues perfectly with Rosario’s vocal timbre, with particular attention to the dynamics between choir and soloist, a key element of traditional salsa.
International registration
The vocals and instrumentals were recorded in Cali, Colombia, by
Guillermo Varela , while mixing and mastering were handled by
César Montes in Ecuador. This combination of Latin American expertise gives the song a strong regional identity while maintaining an international technical standard.
