SALSA BRAVA! Musiciens: Pedro Brull (chant), Edwin Morales (basse), Rafi Andino Esta última agrupación es una de esas bandas que se reconoce desde la primera nota, tomando en cuenta que los grupos han buscado y encontrado un sonido característico que se mantenga durante toda su carrera, esa es La Mulenze, que reseño en esta nota salsera. Detrás de una estructura clásica de dos trombones, dos trompetas, una sección rítmica completa (congas, bongo, timbal, contrabajo y piano) y tres cantantes (Wichi Camacho, Juan García y Raffi Andino) y la actuación especial de Pedro Brull, se encuentra una identidad bien definida que dirige el bajista Edwin Morales. Quien señaló que su orquesta fue fundada en el año de 1976, y bautizada con el nombre de Mulenze, en homenaje a un músico cubano la utilizó. Al principio la banda fue empleada, como acompañamiento de leyendas de la salsa como Cheo Feliciano, Héctor Lavoe, Santos Colón e Ismael Miranda, entre otros.- Una forma de trabajar que después me permitió consolidar la banda -dijo. Mientras nos atendía y disculparse que estaba de compras se llevó para Borinquen una botella de ron añejo y otros regalos, para un amigo en Puerto Rico. En 1979, Morales decidió jugársela por el grupo y no como acompañante. Sustituye al Cano Estremera (que deja el grupo para irse a trabajar con Bobby Valentin).Pero Edwin recluta por recomendación de Willie Rosario, quien se convertiría en la voz emblemática del grupo: el sonero Pedro Brull, quien en esta oportunidad en el show que disfruté junto a amigos como Wladimir Kroker y Robert “Mr Burguer” Ugas, recordó los grandes éxitos de Mulenze. Luego de grabado cuatro LP en los registros de PDC entre 1979 y 1983: “Desde El Principio” en mayo de 1979, “De Cambio” en 1980, “Creciendo Otra Vez” en 1981 y “El golpe duro” en 1983, este primer lugar con temas como: “No Hay Manera Filomena, Filomena no hay manera”, “No me convence”, “Matrimonio es una cosa que no conviene”. Parte de esos éxitos lo disfrutamos esa noche en el show. En 1984 la banda se unió al sello de Bobby Valentín, Bronco Récords, para uno de sus mejores discos: “Basta con pocas palabras”. Keny Cruz, canta la canción que da título y Pedro Brull con Pedro Arroyo en “Todavía no te vayas”. El grupo se unió a MP (Producción Musical) donde Edwin Morales (actualmente Edwin Mulenze) y Pedro Brull participan en todas las estrellas del 92. Los tres cantantes del grupo son entonces Pedro Brull, Rafael Andino y Luisito Carrión. En 93 con TRN (filial de MP) hacen el disco contiene el hit “A mi me huele”, y en el 95 “Sabor y Mas”. Al grupo se unió Tony "Pupy Cantor" Torres por Luisito Carrión. El 30 de noviembre del 2001, se celebran los 25 años con un concierto en el prestigioso Anfiteatro “Tito Puente” en San Juan. Entre los artistas que participaron fueron: La Sonora Ponceña, Primi Cruz, Luisito Carrión, Andy Montañez, Domingo Quiñones. FROM THE WEB BLOGGERS: "MULENZE asi con mayusculas para hablar de la orquesta de la juventud que en su momento se dio el lujo de sacar de la popularidad a las mejores orquestas de puerto rico y nueva york, soy de los fanaticos que se levantan escuchando a la mulenze y el fin de semana ni hablar,ademas que soy de los que defienden la salsa hecha en los 80's a pesar de todo lo que se dice de la salsa sensual hubo muy buena musica: un ejemplo claro la orquesta mulenze...te damos las gracias y seguimos en salsa..." "una de las mejores orquestas de salsa... su estilo es unico el tema que mas me gusta es TU VOZ CONCIERTO, SI TE VAS A IR,, etc ojala algun dia vengan por Lima para poder ir a verlos!"

VINYL GRADING SCALE: Near Mint (NM) (Jacket) If the jacket is sealed there may be some minor corner damage from storage, it may or may not have the shrink-wrap, but the jacket itself will be in pristine condition. The corners will show very little wear (there will be no fraying) and will still be somewhat pointy to the touch. The cover will show no more than very minor dents or some single creases, no full bends that will cause multiple creases/damage. There will be no visible ring wear. No writing, rips or tears on the cover or seams. No bubbling, water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. The inside of the gate-fold will be in the same condition. Cutout bin punches, price stickers, staples would start being listed at the NM category and would be noted accordingly as they affect the jacket itself. (LP) You should not hear any surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain that just opened appearance. There may be a surface blemish or two, but they will not have any affect on the sound. There will be no warping. There will be no major blemishes, light or deep scratches. The label will be free of writing and stains. There should be no spindle marks. Excellent (VG++) (Jacket) May or may not have shrink-wrap but the jacket itself will still be in beautiful condition. The corners will have minimal wear (no fraying).There may be minor dents and creases . Light scratches could be on the jacket, but nothing severe. Depending on age some discolor/yellowing may show, but will not be overbearing. Ring wear should be very minimal or non-existent...no dark, full, half, or quarter rings. No writing rips or tears. No bubbling, water stains or peeling of the cover . All inner gate-folds will be in similar condition. (LP) You should not hear any sustained surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain its most of it's glossiness and will appear like new. There may be a few surface blemishes, or a stray light scratch that may cause a moment of crackling, but nothing prolonged, and instances of this will be few. Often this will mostly occur only at the beginning of the groove on each side where the needle dropped. There will be no warping. There will be no deep scratches. There may be minor spotting or fog, but it will not affect the sound. The label will be free of writing and stains. Minimal spindle marks. Very Good Plus (VG+) (Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap. There may be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear and there may be the beginnings of fraying but not full on. Some dents/creases or scratches may be noticeable, but nothing too pronounced. There could be noticeable discolor/yellowing .There may be some minor ring wear at the top and bottom; again you would have to look for it. No writing, rips or tears. Possibly some light bubbling. No water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. (LP) There may be some blemishes, maybe a scratch or two, but nothing too deep. It will not cause the record to skip or repeat. There will be no prolonged surface noise. There may be some minor warping but it will have no affect on the listening experience at all. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG+ record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Very Good (VG/VG-) TO BE SOLD AS IS!!! (Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap. There will be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear or fraying possibly causing seam splitting close to the seam. There may be split seams on any side. Usually not full side splits though. Sometimes they may be fixed by tape, sometimes not. Some dents/creases or scratches will be noticeable on the jacket, sometimes pronounced. Discolor and yellowing can be commonplace, as are smaller water/mold stains and some bubbling. There maybe a smaller tear on the cover, but nothing overly pronounced. Ring wear will certainly be pronounced. There may be some writing/defacing, but it will be minor. (LP) There will be some blemishes, and some few scratches. They should not be at the feel-able stage though. There could be a skip or repeat, but only one or two at most. More often the deeper scratches will cause more frequent and prolonged surface noise. There may be some warping but it will not cause the needle to jump. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG/VG- record will obviously have been played and occasionally handled roughly by the original owner.
