The Cuban big bands:
BAMBOLEO
Lazaro Valdes, founder and director, keyboardist and pianist, and composer and arranger of the group Bamboleo, born Havana and graduated from the Academy of Alejandro Garcia Caturla, after the experience with the musician Pacho Alonso began looking for young talents in the National Art School of Havana . This group was born on 14 February 1995 as a result of the union of young students of the best art schools with a mean age of 25 years, took on the challenge to make forays into different genres such as salsa, son, Afro-Cuban music, Latin jazz, bolero and balada. Their main purpose was to spread the legacy of the great masters of popular dance music of Cuba and around the world. The debut of Bamboleo was appreciated in local high-caliber as el Palacio de la Salsa, Salón Rosado de la Tropical, Cabaret Caribe, Casa de la Música, Teatro de Splash, Cafe Habana del Teatro Nacional where I have shared the stage with the best bands in the country including Los Van Van, Charanga Habanera, NG La Banda, Adalberto Alvarez, Isaac Delgado and Manolín El Doctor of Salsa. Many wondered what was the formula to achieve in such a short time the public's taste. The answer lies in his name, Bamboleo (non-rocking remains static). Lázaro Valdés Jr. Director of this band, is a restless composer and arranger who knows what he wants for the most demanding taste.
beginning is the presence of two attractive young singers who are the image of Bamboleo, accompanied by two male singers, very charismatic and with a special stamp for the Salsa, the remainder of the team effort that aims Bailador to meet with the more subtle melodies. Selected for represent Cuba in the XV Festival Latino Jazz Plaza 1995, "Bamboleo I have earned the title of Revelation of the Year at this Festival. The first singers Lazaro Valdes Haila Mompié were often compared to young Celia Cruz, and Vanni Borgers with his suave style, the best female voices in Cuba which is still definitely the most success has come from the singers for their voice and look for their strong and rebellious hair shaved as a sign of protest, a symbol of jinetere that ended up in police raids only to be shaved to zero.
The first tour group was in 1996 with the release of their first album "TE GUSTO O TE BIEN CAIG.
in 1997 are also invited Latin festival in Italy to "Fiesta" continues in New York at the prestigious Lincoln Center, leaving a deep impression for all lovers of contemporary Cuban music, the criticism has cataloged them young talent capable of doing wonders in the scenario with the pace and their every Cuban.
In that 'year, the director of the group has produced a disc with Rolo Martínez, also takes care of the production, arrangement and composition of the third album: "Ya No Me Hare Falta" and a half years the band released a tour to China, Japan returning to Cuba and Europe with major international triumphs.
in Cuba are appointed to the Lucas awards, taking home two awards with the music video clip "Ya no me hare falta" In 2000
begin another tour in the world with their CD entitled "NO BUENO QUE ESTA" receiving critical acclaim and participate all'Haineken World Festival and the Grammy Adwards. Lázaro Valdés
In 2001 he won the Grammy Award as an artist close to the group called Tentation. Bamboleo I have had many changes inside the group, Haila left the band in 1998 to begin his solo career, replaced by Yordamis Magret employee of the group NG La Banda. In the same year he recorded the album "YO NO ME PAREZCO A Nadie", in collaboration with trombonist Jose Miguel el Greek, of NG La Banda, and Mario Hernandez of Irakere. Together with the singer Haila leave the group also the author Leonel Limonta and conguero Gonzalo Andres Gavilan to form the group Azucar Negra. Replacing an author such as Leonel has not been easy, but Lazaro Valdes uses the contribution of the best writers in Cuba as El Medico Salsa Manolin, Girard Piloto (Klimax) and Rafael Lavarrera.
Despite the many changes within the group, Valdes can always find good alternatives, now another champion Tania Pantoja is the female voice of the group, considered the most beautiful voice of Cuba at this time. After a long silent period of about six years returned to the big stage with two disks at the highest level entitled "MI VERDAD "and" TODO LO BONITO "currently in the Hit Parade in the world. For 2008
certainly give us another cd which is supposed very nice, given the previews circulating, will be topics of modern timba. with reggaeton and salsatòn.
I remind them that you can listen to the preview on my website at http://www.elsonero.it/ new music
