*** LINER NOTES
Founded in 1984, Orquesta Sabor has been one of the most explosive sensations in Latin music in the Midwest. Awarded the title of “Best Salsa Group” in Chicago by the "Nuestro Performing Arts Council," Orquesta Sabor features accomplished musicians from prestigious institutions like the Conservatory of Puerto Rico and DePaul University School of Music. Several band members have been recognized with accolades such as Chicago's Reggae and World Music Awards.
In November 2001, Orquesta Sabor celebrated a significant milestone, marked by a special concert at the Excalibur Night Club: the launch of their first album, “Fly Me to The Moon,” on CD. On November 28, 2001, the Chicago City Council adopted a resolution presented by Mayor Richard Daley and Alderman Billy Ocasio, recognizing the band's extraordinary contribution to the city's Latin music scene.
In 2024, a concept by Gia Fu came to live: Willie Garcia, Cassio Records and Paris Recording Studio collaborated to recover most of the original recordings of this original album from analog tapes for remastering. The remastered album, “Fly Me to the Moon – Odysseus,” has added some newly recorded instrumentation, which were unrecoverable from the original tapes. The remastered album is produced in two formats: on limited-edition vinyl with the 7 original songs and on CD. On the CD only, there are 4 bonus tracks.
