Beyond the 'R' there is Evolution. Singer-songwriter, Jose
Conde, harnesses the old-school authentic-Cuban spirit of son
and delivers it with a beautiful unique voice and contemporary
eclectic flavour. Jose was born in the US and raised by
Cuban-immigrant parents. The band Ola Fresca (fresh wave), is
an international cast of some of the best musicians in NY and
together they play all original rootsy, funky, jazzy, 21st
century Latin dance music. (R)Evolucion was co-produced by the
Grammy-winning Aaron Levinson (Spanish Harlem Orchestra).
Recorded at the vintage-gear all-analog Brooklyn Recording
Studio, the record has already been called a masterpiece by
some music industry heavies, however the band is even better
live. As producer Aaron Levinson explains, although Jose can
do a very typical Latin show, he can also play a show with a
group like Ozomatli or Ojos de Brujo.- The new cd,
(R)Evolucion, includes a powerhouse crew of special guests
including funk legend and original Meters drummer Joseph
'Zigaboo' Modeliste and Latin All Stars Jimmy Bosch on
Trombone. The lineup of the band includes guitarist Juancho
Herrera (Nestor Torres), bassist Jorge Bringas (Omara
Portuondo, Albita) and multi-percussionist Carlos 'GoGo' Gomez
(Arturo Sandoval).
Cubans have a kind of stew called ajiaco, into which all kinds
of meats and vegetables can be incorporated. (R)Evolucion is
definitely a musical ajiaco.
Mondomundo agency is now booking tours and venues for JC y OF
in Summer (in US) and Autumn (US and Europe). Already secured
bookings: Chicago World Music Festival, Voodoo festival New
Orleans, CD release party/show at Joes Pub, New York May 15th.
The bands performance history is huge and has included
countless performances at venues and festival all over the US.
