Gustavo Dudamel and his Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela have stunned audiences worldwide with their explosive Latin-American showpieces; now they bring this repertoire into the recording studio. The recording juxtaposes contrasting showpieces such as Revueltas’s Sensemaya, the expansive lusciousness of Danzón no. 2 by Marquez and the vibrant Estancia by Ginastera

"My father played in a salsa group . . . so I started to dance when I was really small - a baby. You know, learning to dance is part of our culture - dancing is in our blood . . . Latin music is all about dance, about rhythm . . . For this recording we decided to choose small pieces by different composers, to show the beauty of Latin American music. We created a little mosaic of the best. It's like a party, a fiesta."
