Greetings Casineros!
A group of us went down to Dizzy's last night to see AftroTruko play live. I must say, I am in love with this orchestra. Having been spoiled rotten with quality live Latin/timba/son/salsa music in Seattle, this orquestra is top notch! We could not stop talking about how awesome they were. I am forever a groupie for this band. They played a Los Van Van song "Despues de Todo" and it was so good! Every song they played had a perfect arrangement and the percussion and piano/keyboard made each song have more of a timba feel. While there was a lot of seating in front of the band, there was plenty of space in the back to dance.
After the concert, I spoke with some of the band members, some of whom play in the salsa orchestra, La Farandula. I asked when they will play again and the likelihood they will play timba. Sadly, they want to play timba but there is not enough casineros out there to demand it. La Farandula will be playing live at Cafe Sevilla on Thrusday, April 4th.
So, here my request to you all who read my blog and my FB group page "Fun Latin Dance by Maritza," can we make a casinero invasion at Cafe Sevilla on April 4th so we can demand the band to play timba??? Can we please!!!!???? They are itching to play timba but they need the audience support to make it happen. Let's do this people!
From here on out, If Afrotruko or La Farandula play live, I will post on this blog to let everyone know to go and support these guys! The more casineros there are for these events, the better chances they will play timba. Let's make this happen!
I am posting Charlie Chavez and Aftroturko's contact information under the Musicians tab. La Farandula is already in the musician's tab so if you know of groups or venues looking to hire a Latin Jazz/Salsa orchestra, use the blog to send the information.
Peace, love and lots of timba! Una Bulla!
Maritza
