Aurora & Zon del Barrio

If you like salsa, we do it "dura" hardcore style. If you like Boricua roots music, we do it Cortijo style and if you like it like that, Zon del Barrio does it like that with English language boogaloos. Zon del Barrio brings you music from the African Diaspora to the streets of New York.
A high-energy musical extravaganza that celebrates Latino traditions & culture led by BMI composer, writer and historian Aurora Flores with musical direction by multi-instrumentalist and arranger Antoine Alvear.
A play on the Spanish word "son," the music of Cuba & the Antilles and the English "zone" where Latinos work and struggle hard to party just as hard in the barrio zones, ZDB returns to N.Y. after a triumphant performance in France, recent shows opposite jazz legends Roy Ayers and Les McCann, a tour of the French Caribbean with Afro-Cuban trumpet legend Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros, & a sold out tribute to Yomo Toro at the Copacabana & to celebrate his street naming.
