Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2005 2:42 pmOne of the bands I play with is an auditorium type show called NOCHE CUBANA
It features an 8 piece band (similar to the line up which we supported CUBANISMO)
And features 8 dancers. We basically do the history of Cuban music, from the African slave period, through the Colonial period, and musical genres which followed, including cha cha cha, bolero, conga, mozambique, pilon, mambo, son, Palo, guaguanco, culumbia etc etc through to modern day cuban timba. It also includes an MC which narrates the stories and tales of legendary figures in cuban music in parts with the band. We are doing a national tour and to asia also possibly later in the year.
Our northern NSW/QLD leg of our tour kicks off 2moro morning we fly out of Sydney.
Im very excited to be travelling this beautiful country with a great group of friends and some of the best musicans in this country, along with some of the most talented dancers in the scene here.
I better head off to pack my bags now, wish me luck! When I get back, I will post up some more recent photos.
Here are 2 quick promotional shots that were done a few weeks back.. We had to sit there pretending to play for like 2 hours as the photographers went nuts with different angles and stuff. The following pics were taken by a friend of mine. These arent the actual promotional images though.
I will get more pics up when we return from this 2nd leg of our Australian/Asia tour.
(Im the one playing congas in the pics)
