TROMBORANGA Salsa Orchestra @ Barcelona
As part of a new generation of independent Latin orchestras, Tromboranga is the pure essence of ???Salsa Dura???.
Tromboranga´s spicy ingredients are the trombones sound, solid and strong percussion, and they recover the essence of “soneos” (voice improvisation among the chorus). With influences from the salsa music from the 60’s and 70’s, maintaining a raw, strong and a very ‘danceable’ sound. Their original songs like “Humildad”, “Palo pa la Campana”, “Ah Caraj”, “Mi China Colombiana”, talk about stories that can describe the life of any of us, and they have become number one in Latin radios and dance floors worldwide.
