What you’re hearing now is Orquesta Borinquen. They call themselves, “The Bay Area’s Salsa Powerhouse Band.” And the root of that power comes from Bill Ortega, Jr. He is the group’s director, and trumpeter, and percussionist.
You can experience the power tomorrow, October 24th when Orquesta Borinquen plays the Shadow Ultra Lounge in Oakland, starting about 9:00pm.
