 Percussionist
and LP
artist, Harry Adorno, was raised in New
York City’s El Barrio, where he was
influenced by all forms of Latin culture.
By the age of eleven, Harry had developed
a kinship with salsa music, and joined The
Boys Harbor of Music, a music school at
The Museum of El Barrio, which is now the
Harbor Conservatory for the Performing Arts.
Harry started playing Latin Music professionally
in 1988 when he joined "Grupo Fascinacion",
one of the more popular Latin bands of the
time. He later joined Sergio George’s
RMM Productions, which, as well as being
a wonderful experience for Harry, enabled
him to work with a wide range of artists,
including Cheo Feliciano, Celia Cruz, Ruben
Blades, Adalberto Santiago, Junior Gonzales,
Raulin Rosendo, the belated Frankie Luiz,
and many other notable Latin performers.
As one of the most highly sought after session
musicians in Latin music today, Harry not
only performs with many of its greatest
artists, but also records with a number
of them. He has appeared on Raulin Rosendo’s
album Lo Maximo, Simplemente; on Junior
Gonzales’s album Mis Raizes; and on
Willie Colon’s album Demasiado Corozon.
Harry has also recorded with Ray Santos
and his Big Band, and with Cachao. He toured
with Willie Colon for the past five years,
and is currently playing with the Copacabana
Band. As a freelancer, Harry plays with
numerous artists, both in town and out. |
