Fronteras No Hay
There Are No Borders
(2008)

The long anticipated album, Fronteras No Hay, is currently in production with a release slated for early 2008. Showcasing a fresh new sound that is more Latin than ever, Río Negro's next release will definitely be its most popular. The CD which features new band members and special famous guests contains the youthful energy that makes the band unique. It glides easily from a Cha Cha Cha, to a beautiful Bolero, to Merengue, to even a colorful arrangement of Reggaetón. Preorder your copy.

Self-Portrait
(2001)


Río Negro's first major production, Self-Portrait, takes the listener on a musical journey through the genres of music that are most dear to the group. Some of these genres include Guanguanco, Bolero, Son, Bossa Nova and others. Río Negro's intensity of interaction and ability to anticipate one another come only from familiarity. Evidence of their cohesiveness is everywhere in this collection.

Jazz You Must Own Volume 2
(2001)


Río Negro was declared the South East Region's Best New Jazz Band in 2001 by Borders. The band competed against several jazz bands for the chance to appear on a compilation CD entitled Jazz You Must Own Volume 2. The CD is now available in Borders nationwide or via the Borders website. The competition, sponsored by WCLK, WRFG, and Creative Loafing, was hosted by Borders in Atlanta.
You've Got to Have Standards
(2000)

Río Negro's first CD You've Got To Have Standards is proof that the band indeed has standards. The CD contains seven tracks most of which are jazz standards with a fresh new arrangement. Also featured is one original tune called "Equanimity". The song, written by pianist Kevin "Quino" Johnson, is a favorite track among several jazz radio stations for its heavenly melody and harmony. Despite being over eight years old, the music is timeless.




Río Negro recently played for President Clinton and national political dignitaries. The fundraiser included guests Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Rep. John Lewis, former CEO of Home Depot and Atlanta Falcon's owner Arthur Blank, House Whip Steny Hoyer and others. In the words of President Clinton himself: "You all sound great!" Thanks, Mr. President.
