PABLO "CHINO" NUÑEZ
Doctor Salsa - Chino Nuñez, Vol. 2
Infamous
Originally released: 2007
Category: SALSA/SON; SALSA
EditorsPick: You want the salsa? Can you handle the salsa? Here is the salsa! After his
power-punch It's SHO Time ('05), we wondered if Chino Nuñez could possibly return with
a project of equal propulsion. Well folks, the Doctor is in the house, and he's got the
cure. If this one doesn't get them dancing, there just ain't no pulse.
With singers Hector Papote Jimenez (who's currently featured on the acclaimed Zon Del
Barrio cd), Ray Viera, Carlos Rosario, Rey Sepulveda, Tony Perez, Jose Papo Rivera and
Yoko Mimata, Doctor Salsa seems always on the verge of eruption. And Nuñez' timbales,
of course, do not escape unscathed. Listen to him make them scream for mercy on the
commanding opening track "Te Invita." This boy can play: pure salsa sparks. And listen to
Jose Papo Rivera's handling of Julio Cueva's steamroller "Permiteme Soñar" - a treasure
that leads into "Aveces," a composition by Héctor Luis Pagán. This album highlight
features Spanish Harlem Orchestra veterans Raul Agraz and Peter Nater, helping to
make it the salsa monster it is. Other participating musicians are trumpeter Richie
Viruet, bone player Luis Bonilla, pianist Edwin Sanchez, conguero Willie Romero and
first-class coroistas Frankie Vasquez, Eddie Rosado, Willie Ruiz, and Chuito De Jesus.
Complaints? The 40-1/2 minutes of Doctor Salsa goes by way too fast. A big DJ Alert.
Zero filler. A salsa lovers must-have.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP)

PONME A GOZAR! PUT ME TO SWING is the welcome tune on his website www.
chinonunez.com. Most appropriate, considering his insatiable appetite and passion for
music as a gifted veteran of the industry. There are too many adjectives to describe
the diversity of Chino’s acquired professional credentials -- percussionist
extraordinaire, pianist, arranger, bandleader, composer, producer, recording engineer,
educator and motivational speaker. As one of the most accomplished, respected and
sought freelancer on the East Coast he is a legend in the making.
In 2005, after 35 years in the business Chino launched his Solo career to worldwide
acclaim with the highly anticipated release of his debut album It's SHOtime. The CD
remains on the top playlists, has received countless recognitions and numerous tracks
have been selected for Salsa compilations all over the world. “Homenaje Al Bailador” was
selected for a soon to be released film, Padre Nuestro, distributed by Cinergy Pictures.
His next CD conveniently titled “Doctor Salsa”, which he produced in his studio, was
released in October 2007 and promises to be a recipe for powerful with its combination
of all original tracks arranged by Chino and recorded by New York’s finest musicians.
Chino has received countless achievement awards throughout his career but the most
memorable was in 2004 when he received a Grammy as a member of the Spanish Harlem
Orchestra (Across 110th Street for which he arranged “Te Cantare”). However, his work
with Grammy and/or Latin Grammy Award winning and/or nominated albums is dictated in
his lifetime discography including but not limited to: Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Ray
Barretto, Hector Lavoe, El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico, Tito Nieves; Oscar DeLeon, Tito
Rojas, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Victor Manuelle, Jerry Rivera, Ruben Blades, Johnny Pacheco,
Louis Ramirez, Adalberto Santiago, Ismael Miranda, Cheo Feliciano, Larry Harlow, Yomo
Toro, Luis Perico Ortiz, Domingo Quinones, La India; Marc Anthony, Brenda K. Starr,
Michael Stewart, Jimmy Bosch, Frankie Vasquez Y Los Soneros del Barrio, Ernie Acevedo
Y Su Conjunto Imagen, Rafael DeJesus Y Su Orquesta, Conjunto Clasico, Danny Rivera,
Cindy Lauper and a host of other Artists in different genres. As a respected bandleader,
he is often called upon by world-class mainstream Artists.
From an outdoor festival in the Bronx, to a social in Brooklyn or at the world famous
Lincoln Center, Chino has performed in a broad arena of venues all over the world which
also includes the increasingly popular Salsa congresses, Carnegie Hall, Madison Square
Garden, Northsea Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, the Tito Puente Amphitheatre
and Bellas Arte Performing Arts Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Newport Jazz
Festival, Newport News, Trump Plaza Casino, Playboy Jazz Festival, Major League
Baseball Events, and countless others.
Chino has also engaged in numerous Broadway shows including Evita, The Cape Man and
Lion King. He has done countless television and radio voiceovers, made an abundance of
videos, had a cameo role with Adalberto Santiago & His Orchestra in the major motion
picture Moscow on the Hudson starring Robin Williams and Maria Conchita Alonzo, jingle
with Spanish Harlem Orchestra for 1-800-CABLE and recently recorded a commercial for
Univision (NYC) with his band Chino Nunez & Friends.
In his recording studio, JanMar Productions, he meticulously and methodically composes,
arranges and produces the indefatigable, unique and rhythmic swing projects that he is
distinctively known for -- Latin jazz, reggaeton, hip hop & R&B rhythms. With hundreds
of compositions to his credit, his style is one of the most respected, recognized and
sought on the East Coast.
Chino passion with inner-city children and support of the Arts through community-based
initiatives promotes positive example through music. As an educator and motivational
speaker his teachings, known for their simplistic yet thorough lessons, have earned him
worldwide recognition. He has facilitated clinics in a variety of sectors including music
conservatories, public schools, conferences, conventions and universities, such as Cornell,
Long Island, and Villanova. In 2004, Chino embarked with Albert Torres Productions as
an instructor for what is now known as the Musicians Seminar and takes place annually
at World Salsa Congress in Los Angeles, CA.
Chino's endorsements include Latin Percussion, for whom he produced, performed and
narrated (2) instructional DVD's entitled The Rhythmic Construction of a Salsa Tune
Vol. I. and Vol. II. He is a member of the National Recording Academy (NARAS &
LARAS), ASCAP, and Local 802.
