De La Buena Music: Sounds for the Rhythm of Life

About Me


This profile was edited with myspacecodesrock.com Editor
De La Buena is a traditionally influenced Latin jazz band that injects sophisticated, psychedelic sensibilities into an aggressive, expansive yet specific framework... Employing jazz harmonic sensibility and a deep-seated love of diverse cultures, De La Buena explores the textures and rhythms of Latin musics of the Americas with roots planted firmly in African Diasporic traditions. ____________________________________________________________ ______ - "With their unique samba, soul and bossa nova-influenced sound, this ensemble is leading the latest generation of Latin music in our city.... and whether you're a fan of Latin beats, rhythms, dancing, or just plain old jazzy tunes, you'd do well to see them." - Shepherd Express ____________________________________________________________ ______ - "De La Buena continues the tradition admirably with tight percussion interplay, fluid improv chops and big, blustery melodies... Recorded live, the album captures the funky, undeniably joyous feeling of adventurous dance club music." - The Onion
