Biography
Seguida-To follow quickly without interruption
SEGUIDA is a name that is very recognizable to the ardent Latin music aficionado. The NY Village Voice called them "THE SON'S OF SANTANA!" From their inception in 1972, Fania Record artists, Seguida had paved the way for the genre of Latin Rock to blossom. Their distinctive "East Coast" Afro-Cuban-Salsa-Rock sound grew out of the barrios of the Bronx, NY and has continued to delight audiences all over the world in present times. Seguida has now been chosen by MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL to be part of MLB.com's MAJOR LEAGUE ARTIST SERIES! MLB has created a special MLB/SEGUIDA webpage with all new music videos, band interviews and much more! Included as part of the Fania All Stars, Seguida has toured extensively throughout the world, spreading their infectious sounds of Latin-Rock-Jazz as they shared the stage with such great music stars as BOB MARLEY, SANTANA, MALO, CAMEO, GQ, BILLY JOEL, ELTON JOHN, Larry Harlow, Eddie Palmieri, Hector LaVoe, Willie Colon, and the list goes on. Their two albums on the Fania Music Label (Love is...Seguida, & On Our Way To Tomorrow...Seguida) still continue to enjoy record sales all over the world. Produced by the team of Steve Adorno/Kevin Zambrana, Seguida brings tradition plus new innovations to the genre of Latin-Rock Alternative music. Continuing with their tradition of using English vocals and Spanish Soneros to top off a hot salsa-soul-rock feel has proven to be a successful formula for Seguida. Seguida combines flavors of R&B, Hip-Hop, & Jazz to round out the new sounds of Seguida. SEGUIDA recently performed two High Powered shows at the HIGHLINE BALLROOM & BLENDER THEATER in NEW YORK CITY.

Discography
SEGUIDA - SEGUIDA III
CD (ONRODA- 43057), Released 2007;
Produced by:
Steve Adorno - Jay Henry - Kevin Zambrana
Editors Pick:
Seguida III carries forward the legacy of this pioneering Latin fusion band, remaining consistent with Seguidas vision and yet pushing the music forward. The difference with the early Seguida albums is in the much more polished production of III. Adorno wanted a more sophisticated but still earthy sound. The result is a well-crafted, tightly melded orchestration of sounds and moods. Seguida III is a strong return to form of a band that has been absent too long and under recognized for its achievement. we can sit content with Seguida III, a solid achievement, marking the exciting rebirth and continuation of the Seguida legacy.

SEGUIDA - On Our Way To Tomorrow
CD (Fania 501), Released 1976; Re-Issued 2005
Editor's Pick:
Big production Latin soul/rock release from 1976. A lot of talent was part of this release: Eddie Montalvo, Nestor Torres, Bill Watrous, Peter Nater, Steve Adorno, Jorge Dalto and many others. I especially liked the track "Buscando," arranged by producer Randy Ortiz. This one is more straight up Latin soul. Same for the mostly instrumental "Om Marrero," with its Malo feel (Louie Perez on guitar) and touch of the psychedelic.

Soul, Funk, R&B and Jazz with the more traditional Latin sounds..

Editor's Pick:

The journey from Latin salsa to African-American funk can be a long and dusty road -- unless you lived in New York city around 1976, in which case the two cultures were only a block away from each other. Volume II of The NuYorican Funk Experience joins the dots, fills the gaps, and generally makes good: Azucar, baby!

"Latin Soul"
import cd/released 2001
captures the extraordinary burst of musical colour that exploded on the late 1960's and early 70's when black R&B boogalooed with brown rhythms, when the hip sounds of Afro-Harlem mingled with those of Spanish Harlem. English lyrics, hot horn hits, raw Latin percussion and soul vocals all combine to create a disgracefully impure but quite irresistible. In these fifteen cuts "Latin Soul" covers the spectrum from the sweet sounds of Joe Bataan and the TNT Boys to the rawer, sock-boogaloo style of Seguida and Ray Barretto.
Soul,Funk, Salsa, jazz, Rock.on the streets of latin NEW YORK CITY, something was sturring and it wasnt just the fire hydrants. Black hornplayers riffed on psychedelic tunes against Puerto Rican Vocalist, Whist Cuban congueros held down the backbeat. The brothers called it Latin Soul, the ricans called it Boogaloo its all here!
