Grupo Salsafon - Te Cantare

I don't know how to introduce these guys - Grupo Salsafon consists of 11 members of pure Dura awesomeness, and this goes beyond mere words. All I know is that these guys have been making waves for the past 10 years and in 2011 and 2012 they turned some serious heads at Tempo Latina, one of the major Latin music festivals in Europe. Their music is closely linked and heavily influenced by Latin big-band music from the 70s (some of you know this as 'Salsa' music).

Have a listen to their song 'Te Cantare' from their 2011 album 'Tribute to the Barrio' by clicking on the YouTube link below:-

Grupo Salsafon - Te Cantare

For those of you who know me, I'm a sucker for awesome trumpets and smooth vocals. Their singers Hugo Quispe and Rafel Quintero are pure honey in terms of melody. They've got amazing catchy tunes too! I don't consider these guys 'heavy' in terms of Salsa Dura. They actually sound kinda commercial, similar to Spanish Harlem Orchestra which makes these guys pretty friendly in Salsa socials. 

In fact, I'll be playing one of their songs this Friday Salsa Social at the Paradox Art Cafe. You might not want to miss this one!
