Johann Strauss was a renowned Austrian composer and conductor, considered one of the most important creators of Viennese music of the Romantic era. His works, such as "The Blue Danube", continue to enjoy immense popularity to this day. The video presents an interpretation of this classical piece in an unusual arrangement. Hovedøen Social Club, a Norwegian musical group, along with the Kringkastingsorkesteret (KORK), the Norwegian radio orchestra, decided to give the composition a new, energetic sound - SALSA! Sverre Indris Joner, an outstanding pianist and arranger, is responsible for the piano instrumental parts in this performance. Carlos del Puerto plays the double bass, Eduardo Cedeño on congas, Tony Moreaux Charon on percussion, Jose Alberto Varona on trumpet, and Sergio Gonzalez on guiro. The presence of these talented musicians adds originality and life to the performance. Under the baton of Lars Erik Gudim, the piece comes to life and takes on a new quality.

The concertmaster is Frode Larsen, who ensures excellent coordination between the orchestra and the soloists.

This original interpretation shows how music has the limitless power to connect different styles and eras. It is a perfect example of how artists and performers can enliven and refresh classical music, making it accessible to new and diverse audiences.
