 Percussionist and LP artist Pablo "Chino" Nuñez has played and recorded with some of the greatest Latin Jazz musicians of our time including Ray Barretto, Hector LaVoe, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Larry Harlow, Oscar D’leon, Marc Anthony, Tito Nieves and many others. Most recently, Chino has been arranging, producing and performing with the renowned, Grammy- nominated Spanish Harlem Orchestra with whom he toured extensively in 2003.
In June, 2004 the Spanish Harlem Orchestra will release an exciting, new production featuring actor and veteran vocalist Ruben Blades, which will include an arrangement created by Chino called "Te Cantare". Vocalist Ray De La Paz will perform the piece. Chino will also participate in a new production from jazz trombone legend Jimmy Bosch.
As a music educator, Chino has co-produced and starred in LP's popular DVD, The Rhythmic Construction of a Salsa Tune, Vol. 1, which outlines the basic rhythms of Cha Cha Cha, Son Montuno Guaracha and Latin Rock on congas, bongos, timbales, maracas and tambourine. The dvd also illustrates the relationship between the instruments and the way in which they work together to construct the rhythm of Salsa music.
Chino is one of the most respected and in-demand New York City-based percussionists, and his work has inspired players of all generations to be faithful to the music.
