For your Grammy^® Consideration

Swing Forever is made up of eleven tracks that exemplify the top tier salsa dura sound that Spanish Harlem Orchestra is universally known and loved for. A highlight of Swing Forever is a special feature with Puerto Rican sonero Gilberto Santa Rosa. A six time GRAMMY award winner, Gilberto Santa Rosa is considered one of the most influential soneros of his generation, and has contributed to countless essential Latin music recordings over the past forty years. On Swing Forever, Hernández wanted to include the great singer, and thus arranged the album centerpiece “Llego El Caballero” with him in mind. On this track, Santa Rosa’s poetic vocal artistry shines especially bright. 

Produced and conceived by Hernández and co-produced by GRAMMY-nominated Doug Beavers, Swing Forever continues the Spanish Harlem Orchestra’s legacy, which includes five GRAMMY Award nominations and three wins. The album showcases their cohesive journey, with exciting horns and driving percussion that bring their music to life. The band has performed on prestigious stages around the world, including the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, and the Newport Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz & Monterey Jazz.
