Draft:La Evolución Salsa Band

La Evolución (pronounced [la ‘eh-boh-loo-syohn], Spanish for "the Evolution") is an Latin American salsa band from Bridgeport, Connecticut. The band members were only interested in creating original Latin Salsa music; which were a fusion of the following influences from Latin Salsa, Jazz, R&B, and Disco music. Established in 1969 by Ozzie Muniz, band will go on to have many players over the years.

La Evolución’s ultimate goal was to bring their musical productions on vinyl. In the band’s later years, they had collaborated with Fania All-Star member and Cautro legend Yomo Toro to record their first LP album, titled “Musica Para El Mundo Entero” in 1982; (album will be re-released in 2011 in CD format). Playing with Yomo Toro helped La Evolución bring their dream into a reality.

The band have played at numerous musical venues around Bridgeport Metro area (local Radio Station WCUM Radio Cumbre, Seaside bandshell, ABCD hosted music festival, etc.) and throughout the state of Connecticut (Hartford, UConn, Radio Stations, etc.). Some performances included the 1982 Arts Alive Festival in downtown Bridgeport. In 1984, the band would give their last performance and was honored to perform next to one of the best Salsa bands of Puerto Rico, El Gran Combo.

In 2013, La Evolución would hold a reunion performance, celebrating 30 year anniversary of their album release and it was also a tribute to their dear friend the legendary Yomo Toro, who passed away the year prior (June 30, 2012).
