Press Reviews CD Review-Bloomington Independent Orquesta Son are brave souls to tackle the Afro-Cuban Canon,as salsa and its many offshoots aren't for lightweights or dilettentes;this is complex music rooted in a long-standing tradition of excellence. Well, Orquesta Son are up to the task. This ten piece band contains real pros who understand and can execute the nuances of salsa's multi-tiered rhythmic, melodic and harmonic structures. If this music is difficult to perform, it must be even more daunting to write.Nontheless, Donnelly, the creative spark behind thia collection, has managed to compose this baker's dozen of originals, all which are dignified and inventive, while sticking to the integrity of the genre.
