Melina León nos trae en tiempo de merengue el tema titulado : PREDECIBLE tema que despierta la mente a la mujer del engaño que a diario sufre por individuos que viven de mentira en mentira. La agonía de vivir con un hombre que anda justificándose y haciendo promesas en castillos de arena. PREDECIBLE promete ser otro de los grandes éxitos en la carrera de Melina León como; “Dicen Que Yo Soy Mala”, “Mujeres Liberadas”, “Cuando Una Mujer”, “La Persona Equivocada”, “Un Hombre de Verdad”, entre otros.
Melina León se encuentra en una gira de conciertos entre Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos con este nuevo tema “PREDECIBLE”, mientras se prepara para su Concierto de Aniversario 2022.

Latin Jazz was once again amazing this year with only a few new acts into the charts and a host of veterans that each could easily be a Grammy nominee.
Latin Jazz has become one of the fastest growing genres in the world with close to a dozen recordings coming out in the early months of 2022 that include Mario Ortiz, Luisito Quintero, Julio Jaregui, Aguanko, Eguie Castrillo, Carlos Jimenez Mambo Dulcet, Joe Gonzalez and Richie Viruet (Richie Vee). Expect some big releases from Doug Beavers label Circle 9: Jonathan Powell and Ivan Renta.
‘And let’s be very clear that my passion for Latin Jazz comes from the Afro-Cuban/Caribbean side I grew up with in NYC during the 60’s & 70’s and the discovering of the early pioneers from the 40’s through the 60’s. I became a fan of Mambo Jazz from the dance side of the genre that was being created in New York and grew to love it because of its strong essence of percussion’….this is an excerpt from my article “The Best Latin Jazz Hits of All Time” and the basis for my picks. What makes these 30 recordings amazing is the fact that they were done during the pandemic making it truly special.
1-Victor Rendon Bronx Conexion Latin Jazz Big Band- “Mambo Boulevard”- Voted # 1 for the sequence reminiscent of a live performance with excellent arrangements and improvisations by Ray Vega, Paul Carlon, Wilson ‘Chembo’ Corniel, Rick Faulkner, Jessica Valiente, Victor Rendon and Joe Stelluti amongst others.
2-“Willy Calderon & The LA Impromptu Orchestra”- The big surprise from Los Angeles from a ‘new kid on the block’ who is an extraordinaire percussionist that excels on Salsa as well as Latin Jazz with many new and old names to the genre including Luis Conte, Luis Eric Gonzalez, Alex Acuña, Eliel Lazo, Eddie Resto. Alberto Salas, Roberto Quintero on the Jazz side.
3-Songon- “Songon”- Band formed by pianist John Enrico Douglas and Malcolm Ian Peters along with Raul Rico Jr. and Cougar Estrada (ex-Estrada Brothers members) with plenty of solos that included flutist Norma Latuchie.
4-Carlos Henriquez- “The South Bronx Story”- CD from a bassist who excels in both Jazz and Latin Jazz telling a story of his growing up on the South Bronx that brings so many great memories. The band formed by Melissa Aldana, Michael Rodriguez, Jeremy Bosch, Roberto Rodriguez, Anthony Almonte as a conguero (compared to vocalist for Little Johnny Rivero), Marshall Gilkes, Oved Calvarie and Terrell Stafford are all highlighted.
5-Charlie Sepulveda & The Turnaround- “This Is Latin Jazz”- After many historical recordings Charlie returns with one of his best live recordings that has standout performances by Norberto Ortiz and pianist Edaurdo Zayas (not to be confused with the composer). Guests include Nestor Torres, Randy Brecker Steve Turre, Miguel Zenon and Charlie’s wife Natalia Mercado.
6-The Echo Park Project Octet- “It’s My Turn”- LA has become a haven for Latin Jazz in the past decade and The Echo Park Project led by percussionist Carlo Lopez is part of that growth with most of the compositions and arrangements by Joe Mannozzi. Add to this the great improvisations by Frank Fontaine, Ron Francis Blake and Jonathan Montes and you have one of 2021’s big winners.
7-Papo Vazquez Mighty Pirate Troubadours- “Chapter 10: Breaking Cover”- One of the early pioneers of the Latin Jazz resurgence in the 90’s on his 10th CD. This CD exemplifies Papo’s modern use of the traditional to perfection with excellent play by Ivan Renta.
8-Oscar Hernandez & Alma Libre- “Vision”- The 3rd installment by another LA that features the excellent chemistry between Oscar, Justo Almario, Christian Moraga, Jimmy Branly, the funky Oskar Cartaya and new trumpet Aaron Janik.

11-Nettai Tropical Jazz Big Band- “25th Anniversary”- Who would have known back in the mid-90’s that Carlos Kanno’s Nettai who go one to record a host of excellent big band Latin Jazz CD’s of original music as well as covers of pop music leading them to a 25th year anniversary.

14-La Banda Ramirez- “Cuban Butterflies”- a YouTube discovery from a few years ago the band led by percussionist Chacho Ramirez and his wife flutist Carolyn Steinberg Ramirez.
15-Edilio Bermudez- “Walking”- My big YouTube find that blew me away as a bassist/violinist that swings from beginning to end with performances by Kiki Sanchez, Alexandra Alban, Cesar Orozco, Ed Calle, Diego Camacho, JC Torrealba, Luisito Quintero and others.
16-Rayko Leon & Carlos Aleman- “En Clave De rumBach”- From Las Isla Canarias this popular pianist I also discovered in YouTube and has several CD’s that I have loved since his debut and this one with flutist Carlos Aleman is excellent.

19-Arturo O’Farrill and The Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra- “Virtual Birdland”- as the tile states, a virtually done recording that highlights the excellent brain-child of the prodigal son of one of Latin Jazz’ greatest pioneers…Chico O’Farrill.
20-Pete Escovedo- “Rhythm Of The Night”- While more on the vocal Soul side it is Latin Jazz the Escovedo way and a refreshing recording.
21-Alonso Gonzalez Jazz Latino- “Descarga Pa’ Mi”-Colombian percussionist in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia of all places does not miss a beat as a Latin Jazz influencer.
22-Carlos Miyares- “Tributo A Chucho Valdes”- one of the best new horn men in the business gets to shine on this tribute to today’s finest jazz pianist.

Dislocados lanza su nueva canción de salsa (Agua de Beber) en formato Big Band con la invitada especial Choco Orta
El estreno de la nueva versión de salsa de la canción clásica brasileña de Antonio Carlos Jobim, Agua de Beber, se lanza el 14 de enero del 2022 gracias al grupo Dislocados con su invitada especial, Choco Orta. Dislocados es la primera banda de salsa de Ucrania que se lanzó en el año 2005 en Kiev, Ucrania, bajo el liderazgo de Ilya Yeresko, su pianista.
Los miembros de Dislocados han trabajado con Jimmy Bosch, Frankie Vázquez, y Mitch Frohman en varios conciertos por Europa, Asia, y África, y ahora está preparando su nuevo álbum que van a estrenar en primavera del 2022, llamado ¨La evolución¨. El grupo ha publicado 3 discos y su canción ¨Como Tú¨ con la participación de Jimmy Bosch (de su segundo album, ¨Pasaporte Universal¨) ha ganado los premios Independent Music Awards en el año 2012 por mejor canción latina.
Ilya Yeresko (el líder del grupo) y Karolina Patocki (una de las dos vocalistas principales) participaron en el festival Tempo Latino en el sur de Francia en el año 2010 como invitados de Jimmy Bosch. En ese festival es donde vieron por primera vez cantar a Choco Orta, y desde entonces fue un sueño para el grupo trabajar con esa leyenda puertorriqueña. Gracias al recién libro publicado sobre las mujeres en la salsa, ¨En clave¨ por Saúl Delhom, el grupo consiguió ponerse en contacto con Choco Orta y decidieron adaptar una canción de Jobim para ella en formato de salsa, inspirada en los arreglos de big band de Eddie Palmieri y parecidos. El resultado es este segundo sencillo de su cuarto álbum que se destaca por la fuerza de su estrella invitada complementada por la fuerza de 13 metales y una gran sección de ritmo.
¨Agua de Beber ft. Choco Orta¨ es el primer sencillo no-navideño del nuevo álbum, ya que se lanzó una versión del Villancico de las Campanas en diciembre 2021, llamado ¨Carol of the Bells¨.
