Salsa Concert 23.7.


Manolito y su Trabuco / CUBAmanolito3

In the main event of the Tampere salsa festival on Friday 23 July performs one of the best Cuban salsa orchestras: Manolito y su Trabuco!

The seventh international Salsa Festival in Tampere will again enjoy the pleasure of offering the concert of another fantastic Cuban orchestra, Manolito y su trabuco. Founded in 1993 by Manolito Simonet the group has had great success in Cuba and around the world. After their first album in 1995 they have produced many unique albums which have become favourites of salseros and Cuban music aficionados.

The orchestra has a special skill of satisfying a large public including the fans of traditional Cuban rythms as well as the modern timba lovers. They combine the sounds of authentic son and afrocuban rythms with irresistible modern timba wich creates a very danceable flavour to their music. Manolito y su trabuco is deffeneatly at its best in live concerts where the amazing musicians with the lead singers Sixto "El Indio" Llorente and Ricardo Amaray get to display their greatness and shine. Manolito Simonet had created fame for himself as a pianist in a group called Maravilla de Florida allready before forming his own group and his pianist skills make an important part in the Trabuco as well.

We welcome you to enjoy the pleasurable Cuban rythms in Tampere!
