On May 30 2025, Platoon released Sueño Alcanzado, acclaimed Venezuelan trombonist Oscar Dudamel's new studio album. The project that goes far beyond nostalgia or virtuosity. This is a work built from memory, where every arrangement, every tone, and every pause is crafted as part of a narrative that is both intimate and powerful. With influences ranging from 1970s salsa brava to the sophistication of bolero, Latin jazz, and symphonic music, this production unfolds as a personal chronicle of musical identity.
“This album is the sum of everything I’ve lived and loved in music. I didn’t want to create a tribute to the past, but rather open a space where salsa could breathe through something personal, orchestral, and contemporary. Sueño Alcanzado is, for me, a way of saying it’s never too late to start telling your story with honesty,” says Oscar Dudamel.
His son, Gustavo Dudamel, says, “I remember listening to salsa at home as a child and dreaming of becoming a salsa musician myself. Of course, life eventually led me into the beautiful world of classical music, but my love, respect, and deep connection to salsa have always remained. It’s a music that lives in my heart—it’s part of who I am. Seeing my father return to his roots and make his dream a reality with this album fills me with immense pride"
Recorded between Caracas and Madrid with an orchestra that has become an extension of his vision, Oscar Dudamel seeks to expand the boundaries of what salsa can be today: an emotional language that, in his hands, becomes a tool for personal reconstruction and sonic legacy.
