“La Muralla” is synonymous with salsa a musical genre that fuses Puerto Rican and Cuban sounds. “La Muralla “ has always had dynamic vocals with the like of Johnnie Vega, Rafi Martinez and Luis “Guiso” Rivera. Also part of their success has been having a vibrant Horn section, a tight percussion with prominent piano and bass. One of the biggest reasons for the group’s success has been its ability to be open to new ideas and allowing young talent to grow. Although many thought “La Muralla” was past their prime, their reunion has demonstrated that they have not only held on to their core group of devoted fans but have been able to obtain new and younger fans.
