Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ray Rodriguez. The name of my 10 piece salsa orchestra is Swing Sabroso. We have been together for 10 years. We continue to perform throughout the tri-state area.
Our first CD is titled “Baila con Swing Sabroso” which received great reviews because it was very danceable. I would be happy to send you a copy.
We also just released a single 2 weeks ago titled “Salsa pa’l mundo entero” which is available on iTunes.
