Orquesta SCC is a salsa dura orchestra based in New York City. The band was created by owners Jose Vazquez-Cofresi and Edwin Perez in 2013 out of a reorganization of former band; La Excelencia that ran from 2005-2012. Orquesta SCC, whose acronym stands for Salsa Con Conciencia (salsa music with conscience) have made it their mission to make music that benefits society in more ways than sound alone can achieve. Orquesta (orchestra) SCC are made up of 11 pieces, making them a modern big band by contemporary standards.
