Hector Rivera

Hector Rivera was a pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader who made significant contributions to the Latin music scene, particularly in the genres of salsa and boogaloo. He was active during the 1960s and 1970s, a period when Latin music was undergoing a transformation with the fusion of jazz, R&B, and traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms in New York City. Rivera's work captured the energy of this era with his lively arrangements and ability to blend different musical styles. His album "At The Party With Hector Rivera" suggests that he was adept at creating music that was popular in social settings and dance parties.
