ROXING KAFE , the latin rock revelation of 2005, originated in Bogotá in 1998 when singer / songwriter DANIEL JIMENEZ joined drummer ANDRES ZULUAGA to form their first band, Azul Profundo. Still in their teens, Daniel and Andres gained the recognition of the local rock scene, achieved radio air play, and were invited to perform live for the Colombian division of MUCH MUSIC. A few years later, these two young musicians moved to Los Angeles, California, to start what is now ROXING KAFE, a fusion of the rhythms of their native Colombia and the rock sounds that always attracted them. The band was completed with latin jazz player DAI TAKAHASHI (THE L.A. MAMBO COMBO), and after just a few months of playing in the local scene was nominated for the Best Latin Alternative band at the ORANGE COUNTY MUSIC AWARDS. In 2005, the band signed a management and artist development agreement with MUSA MUSIC GROUP, and with the support of company owner LORENZO MONTERO and Producer EBIUT CERVANTES, the band finished their debut album. The album was recorded between Los Angeles and Bogotá, in some of the most legendary studios of both cities. For the project, the band had the fortune of working with highly recognized musicians, including ALEX ACUÒA, KIM HOTCHCROFT (MICHAEL JACKSON), URIAN SARAMIENTO (ATERCIOPELADOS, LA PESTILENCIA, 1280 LAMAS, CUPURIA), ERIKA MUÑOZ (SIDESTEPPER), GUALBER RODRIGUEZ and DAMIAN BOZZIO (LOS GAITEROS DE SAN JACINTO, TOTO LA MOMPOSINA). ROXING KAFEs new album is an exquisite combination of rock and rumba, with honest and heartfelt lyrics.
