Oscar Hernandez emphasizes that while dance is often integral to salsa music, he prefers sit-down concerts for deeper engagement, stating, "Sometimes dance trivializes the art form." He believes focus should be dedicated to musicianship rather than choreography, especially given the caliber of players in his orchestra.
The Spanish Harlem Orchestra's upcoming performances will feature a mix of traditional holiday songs and Latin-influenced classics, reflecting their adaptability. Hernandez expresses pride in the band’s ability to arrange songs like "The Christmas Song" in a salsa dura style, demonstrating a creative fusion of cultural elements.
