Vibes musician and band leader Dorance Lorza has previously worked as arranger or producer with: Kike Harvey, Conjunto son del Barrio, Los del Caney, Fruko, Hansel Camacho, Orq Mantecana, Octava Dimension, Proyecto Omega, Los Nemus del Pacifico, Hanny, etc...

From label:
“The year after relocating to London in 1995 from his native Cali in Colombia, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and producer Dorancé Lorza organised Sexteto Café with a line-up inspired by the great vibes-led Latin combos of the '50s and '60s, such as the Joe Cuba Sextet and New Swing Sextet. In Cali, Colombia's third largest city and self-styled "world capital of salsa", he led his own highly successful group Renacer Antillano between 1983 and 1989. During the 1990s he worked on many Colombian salsa productions as a performer, arranger or producer, or all three, by such key names as Kike Harvey, Santiago Ceron, Los Niches, Los Del Caney, Los Titanes, Los Nemus del Pacifico, Fruko y sus Tesos, Conjunto Son del Barrio, Proyecto Omega and Cali Aleman, among others. He was one of the primary sources used by the late Lise Waxer for her outstanding book The City of Musical Memory about "salsa, record grooves and popular culture in Cali, Colombia".

Hand-picked by Dorancé, 10 Years of Salsa compiles material recorded by Sexteto Café between 1994 and 2003, 10 tracks of which first appeared on the albums Café Salsa (PCP Records) and Salsa Pa' Ti (Candela); the remaining six cuts are drawn from the "lost" 2000 album Latin DNA…

… Over the 1999 Christmas period I was invited to predict who I thought would be the most influential Latin producers, musicians and key players for the coming decade. I included Dorancé in my shortlist of three names. I am looking forward to 10 Years of Salsa becoming part of the evidence to vindicate my forecast.”
