- About:
- Featuring Miami-based Cuban vocalist Alberto Alberto, this rapid-fire, horn-driven tumbao packs a Latin Canadian punch!
A short but lively and very catchy track, Goza Mi Tumbao celebrates Toronto's vibrant Latin scene and encourages the listener to live their life, dance and enjoy.
Bringing together an all star line up of Latin Canadian artists from three cities and with roots in Mexico, Peru, Panama and Cuba, Goza mi Tumbao is co-produced by percussionist Luis Orbegoso and the group's artistic director Wilver Pedrozo.
Montreal trombonist Yordan Martinez, Cuban jazz trumpeter Alexis Baro, and saxophonist Alex Naar (both from Toronto) fill out the horn section.
Led by multi-instrumentalist Wilver Pedrozo, Charangon Del Norte has been called the Los Van Van of Toronto.
The group is a uniquely Cuban fusion, incorporating jazz, Latin funk and world music elements with variations on classic Cuban forms such as charanga, changui and pilon.
The original compositions and ambitious arrangements for the large format Latin orchestra draw on the group’s distinctive instrumentation that usually boasts a triple trombone section, two violins, baritone sax and flute. The result is a contemporary sound that reflects Pedrozo’s upbringing in south eastern Cuba where diverse influences from Colombia, Mexico and Jamaica are part of the everyday musical fabric.Â
Recorded during COVID quarantine, this release is a departure from previous releases in term of group size and length of composition but delivers the same swinging energy that the band has become known for. Pedrozo says that he wanted to lift people's spirits during this difficult time when it's easy to feel isolated and far from your community.
