PEOPLE, Page 97Teriyaki Salsa
By MICHAEL QUINN
"Salsa has no borders, no barriers," sings ORQUESTA DE LA
LUZ -- and these salseros know what they're singing about. All
of them are Japanese. The band mastered the Latin sound by
listening to recordings and jamming with salsa musicians touring
Japan. In the U.S., their loyal listeners include Hispanic
salsaphiles who, as bandleader Shingo "Carlos" Kanno freely
admits, were attracted by the group's novelty before being won
over by its sound. Now Orquesta's albums have gone gold and
platinum, and the combo has shared stages with Latin greats like
Tito Puente and Celia Cruz -- the last a particular thrill for
lead singer-lyricist Nora. "To sing salsa, it's most important
to have feeling, and Celia has a lot of feeling," she remarks.
"I learned feeling from her."
