Naborí is a Midwest based salsa band specializing in the execution of original classic tropical music in the vein of “El Grand Combo de Puerto Rico”, “Spanish Harlem Orchestra” and “Grupo Niche”. The band of seasoned musicians formed in the summer of 2006 and quickly gained recognition becoming one of the most sought after Latin groups in the Chicago metro area.

Since its formation, Naborí has played all major festivals and venues and has been named best Salsa band of 2007 and 2008 by regional music publications. It also became the first Salsa band to ever win state-wide recognition as the best World Beat Group of 2007 voted on by a panel of area writers, producers and music executives.

Naborí’s first production, released late 2008, titled “Historias Del Barrio” captures the essence of classic salsa with eight original compositions and arrangements. The CD is a journey that encapsulates the classic sounds of an era where Salsa was at its peak and recalls traditions of old by paying homage to the music with their own modern interpretations. In addition to selling domestically, mainly through online channels, “Historias Del Barrio” has sold in Puerto Rico, Europe and Asia and holds the number one requested song in Salsa Picante radio station in New York for its titled track “Maldita”.
