Orquesta SCC, formerly known as Orquesta Salsa Con Conciencia, is an eleven-piece salsa dura orchestra. The band was created by Jose Vazquez-Cofresi and Edwin N. Perez in 2013 after their former band, La Excelencia, broke up in 2012.
History[edit]
La Excelencia ran from 2005 until 2012. The band released three albums and toured internationally before breaking up.
In late 2012, Edwin Perez spoke with Jose Vazquez-Cofresi about putting a band back together, which they did under the name Orquesta SCC. In January 2013 Orquesta SCC began recording the album Renacmiento.[1][2]
In 2015, Orquesta SCC announced that they would be doing a world tour named The Kings of Salsa Dura. Lincoln Center (Midsummer Night Swing) has been quoted saying; "These native New Yorkers take up the Fania All-Stars torch and show dancers why they are quickly being hailed as The new Kings of Salsa Dura".[3]
