On June 5th, 2004, Larry Harlow and AEG put together a big Salsa Dura at
The New Jersey Performing Arts Center
in Newark, NJ. Larry gathered almost everyone associated with his 40 year music career for this
one-night-only salsa performance. The performance starred Larry Harlow and the Latin
Legends Band, with special guest
Giovanni Hidalgo.
As a highlight of the show, a group performed a song titled Thunder Drum. Written by
Bobby Sanabria, the tune was performed by six drummers:
Bobby Sanabria on drums,
Giovanni Hildalgo on
Palladium congas,
Chembo Corniel on
congas,
Louis Bauzo on bongos and
batas,
Ralph Irizzarry on
timbales and
Nicky Marrero on
timbales. The song,
comprised entirely of percussion, was tied together by many individual solos, including
a five-minute congas solo by Giovanni.
The performance included performances by Larry Harlow, Giovanni Hidalgo, Andy Harlow,
Alfredo de La Fé,
Jimmy Bosch, Sonny Bravo, Nicky Marrero, Ismael Miranda, Junior Gonzalez, Adalberto Santiago, Cano Estremera,
Luisito Rosario and Emo Luciano. The Latin Legends band consisted of Bobby Sanabria, Chembo Corniel, Louie Bauzo,
