Album Notes

After producing an outstanding CD that made its musical debut during the spring of
2004 with the very popular Salsa group known as Orquesta "ClaraSalsa", (sold here at CDbaby.com) songwriter/bandleader Jorge Laureano has launched yet another outstanding production, this time...with his latest musical
group known as... FIESTA Orchestra!

The new CD entitled...”Me Esta Gustando” (I’m Liking It”) features some contemporary new sounds & hip ideas, while several of their songs are also being interpreted in English, much to the delight of their fans and supporters!

Their High-Energy NY Salsa music style always makes an impact during their stage performances but now they hope to see the new CD reach a wider international market just the same! The new FIESTA Orchestra CD is just right for all salseros!

In addition to the creative side of this work, there's an impressive cast of musical arrangers and other music professionals who added to the outstanding quality of this new production:

Pablo "Chino" Nunez -Timbalero, arranger and producer, Pablo was a member of the of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra when the group won a Latin Grammy. In over 35 years in the business, he has worked with many fine performers including Frankie Negron, Celia Cruz, Oscar DeLeon, Tito Nieves and countless others! Pablo is also one of the talented arrangers in this production.

Jon Fausty -Winner of 4 Grammy awards and nominated over 14 times, Jon has worked with countless artists including the Bee Gees, Johnny Pacheco, Duran-Duran, Olivia Newton-John, Marc Anthony and so many others! He is also credited with engineering over 3,000 albums and his expertise in Latin music is unmatched! Jon was pleased to add his signature of approval on the new FIESTA CD when he completed the mastering phase of this great musical production!
