Orquesta Son 9.mp3

Orquesta Son9 made its debut in late 2008.  Since then the group has quickly risen to one of the most sought after bands in its native New Jersey.  Rumors of the hot sounds of this group formed by seasoned veterans and up and coming legends of tomorrow made its way over the Hudson.  

Increasingly more venues are reaching across the river to feature Orquesta Son 9 as a single act or to complement international headliners.

Orquesta Son9 features the vocal talent of Gilberto Velez Jr.  Whom as an artist has recorded 3 cd's under private lables over the last 25 plus years in the business. A review of the cd's can be found on the News section of this website. When you hear the sophisticated expressions of this salsa legend in the making you will become a lifetime fan.  If you haven't heard of him yet, you will be able to say I knew him when.... because Gilberto is heading towards stardom.  

The group is directed by the very respected industry veteran Victor Quezada.  

Son9's sound is an eclectic form of salsa. They will have you feeling like you are enjoying the mambo sounds of Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez to the urban and raw sounds of  Fania and salsa dura to the sophisticated sounds of contemporary salsa. The group packs the integrity of salsa history into a contemporary groove wrapped in a swing that is more than sabroso.
