Description: Ruben Blades’s 1985 album *y SEIS del SOLAR* captures him and his crack urban salsa band posed outside 112–114 E 17th St, just off Union Square, as if they’ve just stepped out of a late-night rehearsal into the city’s hum. The brick façade and ironwork echo the gritty, democratic New York that nurtured Latin jazz, Fania salsa, and socially conscious storytelling—all currents that Blades channels into sharp, cinematic songs. Standing in that spot, you can almost hear horns bouncing off the stone and imagine the band slipping inside to turn street noise into rhythm. This is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
