Burning Latin and Funk beats sizzle as they are embraced by cool Jazz harmonies just as flowing lava does when it meets the ocean. Nothing describes Rebel Rhythm’s music better. Rebel Rhythm thrives on genre-defying innovation both in the recording studio and on the stage. The band’s performances never fail to erupt into hot percussion jams that lead audiences into sweat-drenched dance frenzies. Jazzy Keyboard harmonies provide relief like a cool breeze while smooth vocals and horn lines complete the euphoria.Rebel Rhythm’s music is an amazing amalgamation of styles, personalities and contrasts. Through their music listeners get to experience the past and future of Latin, funk and house music. The influences of Eddie Palmieri, Miles Davis, Masters at Work and Tower of Power resonate in a unique and unforgettable manner. "The foundation is a balance between the accessible, jazz/funk/house piano licks from Salvadorian bandleader Amadeo Ventura; fused with a frenetic mix of classic salsa dura vocals and Afro-Latin chanting from rhythmic genius Luis Orbegoso. Watching the Peruvian-born Orbegoso perform is always incredibly inspiring; this man robbed of sight able to so commandingly and instinctively drive the band from different angles." (The Live Music Report July 2008). Cuban maestro trumpeter and percussionist Mario Del Monte displays his experience through his playing and his interaction with the audience. Ernesto Ventura's brilliant conga playing is deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban traditions that go back hundreds of years. Bassist Jesse Turton is pure pocket rounding the rhythm on the bottom end. All members of Rebel Rhythm started playing professionally in their early teens and have a wealth of experience controlling the hot and cool music flow. The band can be described as a group of music biochemists that know when to turn up the heat and when to keep it cool!
