MIAMI, FL. (Top40 Charts/ ToProtel Records) - Hispanic Magazine calls "Spanish Harlem's Zon del Barrio, an outfit steeped in nostalgia while exploding into the future." Featuring Fania All Star legend, Yomo Toro and Cortijo alum, singer/songwriter Sammy Ayala, ZDB brings it's foot-stomping Latin dance drive from the streets of Spanish Harlem to Global Stages. Zon del Barrio's debut CD, Cortijo's Tribe / La Tribu de Cortijo, has been rated among the top ten of 2007 by Radio France, Venezuela's El Magazine de la Salsa, Cali, Colombia and South Florida's radio stations.

A high octane dance band, Zon del Barrio is an innovative and dynamic New York Latin music band that brings the dance music from the streets of Latin New York to the stage. From the plena (popular during the turn of the last century) to the saucy strains of salsa amid the back beat of reggaeton laced with jazz, Zon del Barrio brings the beat of the streets to the hearts of dancers everywhere.

An intergenerational band whose members range from 16 to 75, Zon del Barrio was founded and is led by Latin music historian, writer, composer and musician Aurora Flores with musical director David N. Fernandez. Zon del Barrio's Cortijo's Tribe: La Tribu de Cortijo features two masters of Afro-Puerto Rican music, Yomo Toro, the King of the cuatro (the national 10-stringed guitar of the island) and an original member of Cortijo y Su Combo: Sammy Ayala.

Zon del Barrio is a play on words for the musical genre of "son" found in all the "barrio zon"es of Latino communities world wide. Bringing dance style classic Afro-Antillian music from the barrios, Zon del Barrio bring its energizing, foot stomping, funk based classic salsa (Afro-Cuban), plena, bomba & boogalu to their "live" performances.

"Representin' on 5" Aurora & Zon del Barrio were the houseband for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday, June 8th where the band's music was showcased to millions of New Yorkers and over the television and airwaves. Click on the link above to watch a segment.
