Papo LuccaEnrique Arsenio Lucca Quiñonez, better known as Papo Lucca(“Papo” a being common Puerto Rican slang for “junior”), is aPuerto Rican multi-instrumentalist best known for his pianistskills. His main musical genres are Salsa and Latin Jazz. Heranks with the late Charlie Palmieri, as one of the best piano

instrumentalists in Latin Jazz and Salsa.[citation needed] He is theco-founder with his father Don Enrique “Quique” LuccaCaraballo of the Puerto Rican band La Sonora Ponceña. He hasalso played and recorded with the Fania All-Stars, HectorLavoe, Willie Colón, Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, BobbyValentín, Ismael Quintana, Gloria Estefan, Adalberto Santiago,Andy Montañez, Pablo Milanés, and Rubén Blades. He is also awell-known music arranger.

With his dynamic piano playing and unique approach to salsa,Papo Lucca has led his band, Sonora Ponceña, to the forefrontof Latin music. Inheriting the group from his father, Luccahas continued to inspire Sonora Ponceña with his innovativeplaying. While Rubén Blades called Lucca, “the best pianist inthe world”, Cuban pianist Ruben Gonzalez explained, “of non-Cuban pianists, I most admire (Lucca) because his salsa isvery close to son. Son piano is more varied than salsa pianowhich is more formulaic and holds on to a single riff muchlonger.”

Lucca has been involved with music most of his life. A nativeof Ponce, a small city on the southern coast of Puerto Rico,he began studying at the city’s Free School of Music at theage of six. In addition to being trained in solfeggio, hestudied piano, clarinet, saxophone, and music theory. A monthafter he enrolled in the school, he performed a classicalpiece on a local radio station. Lucca simultaneously studiedprivately with pianist Ramon Fernandez. With his father’sencouragement, Lucca advanced quickly. Performing with Sonora

Ponceña at the age of eight, he made his recording debut threeyears later, when the group accompanied bolero vocalistsFelipe Rodriguez and Davilita on their album, Al Compas De LasSonoras. At the age of fourteen, Lucca began an “official”member of Sonora Sonora Ponceña.

Throughout the 1950s, Lucca remained active as a musician. Inaddition to playing solo piano on a television show hosted byRuth Fernández, he recorded with Obdulio Morales, OrquestraPanamerica, and Machito. Despite his busy schedule, Luccafound time to continue his formal studies. Graduating from theUniversity of Puerto Rico, he went on to study at theConservatory of Music. His first opportunity to showcase histalents came in 1976 when he co-produced Sonora Ponceña’salbum, Musical Conquest/Conquista Musical, with Louie Ramirez.Two years later, he produced the group’s album, Explorando, onhis own. Although he’s remained committed to Sonora Ponceña,Lucca has balanced his involvement with a variety of outsideprojects. In 1976, he replaced pianist Larry Harlow in theFania All-Stars. He continued to perform with the group untilthe mid-1990s.

Lucca reached his peak in 1979. Together with Sonora Ponceña,he collaborated with influential Latin vocalist Celia Cruz onan album, La Ceiba, and appeared with Cruz in a televisiondocumentary, Salsa. The same year, he performed on an album,Habana Jam, along with the Fania All-Stars, which was recordedduring a concert in Cuba. Lucca also recorded a solo pianoalbum, Latin Jazz, in 1993.

Eddie ZervigonEddy Zervigon arrived in the United States from Cuba in 1962.That year he performed with Lou Perez’s band and subbed forPacheco when Johnny had to have a throat operation, andfounded the charanga band, Orquesta Broadway. A charanga bandis a Latin band that consists of flute, violin, bass, piano,timbale, guiro player/singer, and of course the lead vocalist.It was around this same year that I began to build bongos andsell them on consignment to a store on 48th Street in New YorkCity by the name of Frank Wolf’s Drummer’s Supplies.

This was the beginning of the pachanga dance craze and bongosweren’t used for this music and I would have to develop otheritems to build my future business with. Nonetheless, I washooked on this music. There was something extraordinary abouthearing a great charanga band. As Eddy explained, when theband was really cooking, it had a relaxed swing going on. Withthe relaxed swing, Orquesta Broadway was able to move thedancer like no other band. While I was not a dancer, Ifollowed them around from one venue to the next.

At age 15, Eddy’s parents gave him 200 Cuban pesos for hisbirthday. Eddy had a brief passion for gambling at pool and helost 185 of the 200 on the game. With the remaining, 15 pesos,he bought a flute. Thus Eddy’s career began as a musician and,he assured me, he never gambled again.

Eddy remembers seeing two guys enthusiastically applaud hisperformance at The Paladium ballroom in New York City. Theyintroduced themselves and returned to their next performanceat Club Cubano Interamericano. There, Ira Hersher, the youngerof the two, sat in with the band. Eddy loved the way Iraplayed.David Hersher was also a piano player so Eddy sent himto a music teacher to learn the bass. Within 4 months Davidwas playing the instrument. It has always fascinated me thatJewish guys like these and Barry Rogers could play this

special music with such authenticity. One reason might be thatthe Hersher boys were involved with the running of the RaleighHotel in the Catskill Mountains, less than two hours away fromManhattan. Some of the best of Latin bands have appeared atthe hotels in the Catskills including Orquesta Aragon fromCuba, who appeared there in 1959. Eddy said it was also Ira’ssitting in with The La Playa Sextet that helped shape hisplaying in the direction of Latin music. Ira has since movedto New Zealand and now calls himself Hershal. David ispursuing other talents. He had worked in the management areaof the recording business and he is now the manager of theRaleigh Hotel in the Catskill Mountains.

Africans have always been fond of the slow son montunos of thetypical donzon of Cuban music. Orquesta Broadway went toAfrica three times. The first time they went to Abidjan on theIvory Coast. There they played for the President’s daughter’swedding. The second time they went to Monrovia. The third timethey went to Senegal. They also performed for this sameaudience in Paris.

During the years of Broadway’s greatest popularity, the bandwas working 16 gigs a week. Eddy found that carrying the bandalone with his flute was too demanding. He then hired trumpetplayer, Roberto Rodriguez who remained with the band until hishealth failed. Eddy and the band continue to play around theNYC area and all over the world.
