Un grupo de musicos talentosos, una banda de gitanos por llamarle asi; Que aman la musica del Corazon y el alma. Maria Y El Sol es un espectaculo Andante con credibilidad y encanto. El sonido es una autentica fusion the culturas, algo como Jerry Lewis en Spanish Fly. Exoticas guitarras espanolas acompanadas de percusiones Que se unen al ritmo de saxofones y acordeones para completar una deslumbrante y unica experiencia musical.“Somos un monton de chicos (y chicas) que ama la musica, Que gusta de viajar, que ama el mundo en su totalidad, Que disfruta todo tipo de musica, que admiramos las diferentes culturas. Nos encanta hacer bailar a la gente, nos fascina el sol, la playa y las noches bohemias para compartir musica en compania de amigos.” Dice Ambrosino fundador de la banda.Durante los ultimos dos anos Maria Y EL Sol ha viajado en tour Por los estados de Mississippi , Alabama Y la Costa de Florida.

Increible la respuesta que la gente tiene cuando Maria Y El Sol Empieza a tocar, gente de todos partes del mundo ha bailado para su musica, esa energia y Buena vibra que anima al publico y le da calidad al ambiente. Definitivamente de lo mejor del area!!. Mosaic Tapas Bar MS USA--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Maria Y El Sol breaks away from every normality and genre of the area blending world beats and multi lingual song writing. A multi talented group of musicians, a band of gypsies if you will, that loves to play music of the heart and mind. Maria Y El Sol is a touring act with credibility and charm. The sound is an unique melting pot, somewhat like Jerry Lee Lewis on Spanish fly. Flamboyant Latin guitars and percussion . Bright saxophones and accordions complete the musical journey. "We are a bunch of guys (and girls) who love music, who love to travel, who love the world as a whole, who love every type of music, who love different cultures, who love to make people dance, who love the sun and the beach, who got together to play some music," says band founder Ambrosino. For the past two years the band has been touring the MS, AL, and FL gulf coast, playing over 300 gigs delivering their upbeat and happy spirit every week. .Also visit Maria Y El Sol's ReverbNation site at www.reverbnation.com/mariayelsol
