LARRY HARLOW and THE LATIN LEGENDS ORCHESTRA
At B.B. King's, 237 West 42 St, NYC (212) 997-4144
June 27, 2008, 10:30PM

Larry Harlow excelled at an early age at various instruments. The music and culture of New York's Latino community led him to Cuba where he began an intense study of Afro-Cuban music. more...

Just returned from 3 days in Athens, Greece with Emo Luciano . We were backed up by the Palenque all-Stars and performed at the "Palenque Club" in Downtown Athens to SRO salseros. What a surprise to see all these great dancers and salseros. The Greek Jewish Community also turned out to see me perform. I did a hour on Basilio's radio show called Sonido Bestial, Saturday afternoon, www.latinmusic.gr which was in English, Spanish and Greek. The food was wonderful and Vasilis was a great host. We look foward to returning next year again for some great food and wonderful people. LH
