Through Asho, I just got word of Cuban fusion group Cubiche hitting the stage at SOB’s this coming Saturday. Check out the info on the group and the show below…
Saturday August 1st, 2009
DIRECT FROM MIAMI
CUBICHEFIRST NYC SHOW!!!
Special Guest : DJ AshoDoors: (12:00AM - 4AM)
Cuban fusion collective, Cubiche has taken over the Miami music scene with a bang. Its eight soloist singers collaborate to not only set the stage in Miami, but they have created a new way of life for Cubans all over the world. The band members attract fans through their sensual combination of hip hop and tropical bohemia along with their well harmonized medley of traditional son, salsa and timba mixed with rock, reggae and funk.
The group consists of token woman, Leslie Cartaya (vocals/piano), Descemer Bueno (Band director/ bass/ vocals), Michel Fragoso (piano/ vocals), Philbert Armenteros (percussion/vocals), El Chino Dreadlion (vocals), Mr. Haka (MC rapper/vocals), Elain (vocals) and Luis Bofill (vocals). Each member of the group has a completely unique sound, not one member sounds the same. Together they create a more powerful noise, one the bandmates say can easily attract listeners from across the globe. Even the band name as a powerful meaning (Cubiche, which to most Spanish speakers is a derogatory term for Cubans has been reclaimed by the group and has demonstrated an ironic sensibility that appeals to mod Hispanic kids).
Starting off the month of August right, Cubiche will be coming to SOB’s Saturday Samba Soul’s late night show on the first of the month. Doors open at midnight, admission is $10 with flyer.
