A Salsa take on Paul Simon's 1980 hit, "Late in the Evening," is featured on the new release from the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. United We Swing, out now in stores, includes "Late In The Evening/Tarde En La Noche," a Paul Simon staple originally featured in Simon's 1980 album and film, One-Trick Pony. Simon first collaborated with the Spanish Harlem Orchestra's musical director, Oscar Hernandez, on his 1998 Broadway musical, The Capeman.

"I was talking to Paul and asked him if he would want to be a guest on our album," Hernandez said. "No sooner had the words come out of my mouth and he said, 'I'd love to. What are you thinking about?' I was floored and completely honored. Paul Simon doesn't just record with anybody."
"The first verse that he sings a cappella is distinctively different. He told me to leave it like that because he didn't want it to sound like the original. It's more like a dream years later. The combination is really cool. I was going to do it with the original horn lines but in this case I took it to the realm of what we are all about."
