Solar Latin Club presents the long awaited return of Cuban saxophonist Maikel Vistel with his Orquesta Gigante in the new album “Azul Presents En El Mar“. This third album, six years after “Pasos”, is a tribute to the oceans and seas, with 14 pieces carefully selected and vocalized by Dayme Arocena and Lazaro Armenteros, with the special participation of the legendary Omara Portuondo in one of the tracks.

The album immerses us in a musical journey that encompasses Cuban rhythms such as Cha Cha Cha, Bolero, Son Montuno, Guaracha, Mambo and Danzón, with arrangements by Rafael Aguila and musical direction by Maikel Vistel himself. From the sublime Cha Cha Cha Cha “La Jaibera” to the powerful guaracha “Deja Que Suba La Marea”, the album offers a diverse and richly nuanced experience.

Highlighting compositions by artists such as Daniel Santos, Compay Segundo and Arsenio Rodríguez, as well as reinterpretations of classics such as “El Pescador” and “La Barca”, the album achieves a unique connection between Cuban and folkloric sounds from diverse regions. “Sopa De Caracol”, popularized by the Honduran band Banda Blanca, also finds its place, revisited with a deep flavor and respect for the Garifuna language.

With “Azul Presents En El Mar”, Maikel Vistel not only celebrates the richness of the oceans, but also invites us to immerse ourselves in the richness and diversity of Latin music. You can read the full article in Solar Latin Club and discover the charm of “En El Mar”.
