Beginning in the mid-50s, singer, bandleader, composer, arranger and producer Cuco Valoy and his guitarist brother Mart n worked as the duo Los Ahijados. They released a series of albums on which they performed songs in a typical Cuban style. In the 70s Valoy organized a 12-piece band which he called both Los Virtuosos and La Tribu. He changed the name to Nueva Tribu when a handful of new members were added in the mid-80s. The personnel included Mart n (bass guitar), Cuco's sons Ram n Orlando Valoy (known as Ram n Orlando; piano, arranger, composer) and Marcos Antonio Valoy (trombone), and the magnificent vocalist Henry Garc a (who performed with the band between the mid-70s and mid-80s). In the mid-80s Ram n departed to become a bandleader in his own right. The line-up of Cuco's band comprises lead and chorus vocals, rhythm section and a varying frontline of two or three trumpets, one or two saxophones and often one trombone. Until the mid-80s, Valoy included a mixture of salsa and merengue (the Dominican Republic's major dance form) material on his albums. He then broke from this policy to release a number of albums that were predominantly or entirely devoted to merengue. Many of Cuco's finest tracks were peppered throughout the string of albums he released on the Discolor and Kubaney labels between 1975 and 1983. A number of these songs were later collected on a series of CD compilations. Between 1983 and 1987, Valoy recorded for small companies, including his own CVR label, and then returned to Kubaney in 1988. Some gems also appear on his albums from this mid-80s period, such as on Cuco Valoy Y Su Tribu, Mejor Que Nunca and Con Sabor Del Tropico. Probably his best albums to date (1991), in terms of being consistently strong, are Salsa Con Coco, Tremenda Salsa, Arrollando and Tiza!. 1989's A Petici n Popular ... Salsa marked a significant return to salsa with all the arrangements written by the prolific Isidro Infante. In 1991 Cuco and Ram n were reunited on the J & N/Fuga Records release La Gran Obra Musical De Cuco Valoy.http://www.newedgecabaret.com/

EVOLUTION As my Reddish Auburn locks turn a silver grey, they become stubborn and thick, Curls doing their own thing going their own way . I look into the mirror and the image I see has changed My skin once fresh, rosey and tight, shows signs of years past, a road map of Child Bearing, Marriage, Corporate America, Smoking, Chocolate and .. Sex . My bones and joints once strong and tall show signs of fragility and weakness The aches and pains are reminders of my youth The days of double dutch, kick the can, red light green light and hot peas and butter . As if there was anything other . It s the Evolution of growth, The gift of life and wisdom, A sign of the traits passed down from one generation to the next . It s the ever changing variety of life The unfolding of a new beginning, a new era, a new chapter in my life My body forms a woman s curves They are full, tight and .. confident . My moves become better with practice as they should My hips sway seductively on their own Rocking from side to side as I . walk . As I walk I feel the woman growing inside of me Taking a risk, no fear, no inhibitions, Enjoying the free spirit of the woman in side of me . My feminine powers unleashing Past down to me from my mother and grandmother The Powers that all women possess The Power of seduction .. The Power of .. I discovered an important layer of consumption woven in that fabric of life I discovered my growth As a woman, mother and wife I discovered that everything is possible, dreams come true and there is no limit to what I can do . So as my curls turn a silver grey and become stubborn and thick I embrace ...my blessings ...and keep them in place By Mia Roman Hernandez 2008 http://www.newedgecabaret.com/

Clem Richardson - NY Daily News Luis Chaluisan Selected Artist In Residence at Carnegie Library Based Heritage House. As the success of Spic Chic: The Adventures Of The Last Nuyorican continues to expand WEPAnews is proud to say that New Edge Theater founder and director Luis Chaluisan (El Extreme) has been named Artist in Residence at the Brownsville Heritage House. The Heritage House functions as a library/museum and is home to a variety of books by, and historical photographs of prominent African-Americans. Art includes sculptures, graffiti by local artists, and photo collages depicting the history of Brownsville. I think Spic Chic is strong stuff, right in the Nuyorican tradition. Poems and then stories back into poems that are often emotionally moving. A self exploration in a non chronological history consistent in language and point of view it is clearly a highly personalized work that is successful in the Nuyorican free-style genre and successful in the broader sense as well.
