Hola Franc,

Everything is fine, thanks! The S.H.O. is directed and produced by pianist Oscar Hernández. Oscar is very popular for his collaborations with Ray Barretto, Conjunto Libre, Daniel Ponce, Ruben Blades, Seis del Solar, etc. I really dig the S.H.O. style, which is pura salsa dura y mucho afinque. The percussion section varies depending on players availability, but regulars that I know in their percussion section are Pablo "Chino" Nuñez on timbal, and George Delgado and Bobby Allende rotating between bongó and tumbadoras. Also Roberto Quintero recorded some tracks on their new album. Check them out!

Saludos,

Jorge Ginorio
