Latin Voodoo Sound

About Me

COME INTO OUR WORLD -- where flamenco meets Brazilian passion, with a middle eastern twist -- it's musical voodoo...WHAT ARE WE ABOUT? Four musicians and two dancers bring you their take on the world -- It's a fusion of musical styles, based in Latin American rhythms, Flamenco, Middle Eastern and even tasty bits of Brazilian jazz, with an emphasis on the warm sounds and rich melodies of the acoustic guitars, bass, and percussions. To that we add an exotic mix of vocals in several languages, along with fiery live performances that include an urban flamenco dance edge.HAVE YOU SEEN US? We've been showing off our stuff to full audiences at several clubs and festivals throughout Toronto, and in 2004 released our first CD entitled "Bosketches" to wide acclaim. We've also recorded two videos with TMN (The Movie Network) and Bravo, and have received media praise for our work from several broadcasters, including CBC and Telelatino. Our brand new CD, SECOND LENGUA, is coming out really, really soon.... check out our blog for more info.
