Welcome Curuyé in LA
Welcome to Kay Torres of Curuyé in LA! Curuyé in LA can be found under Reports above, or better yet, just look under New Stuff/Lo Nuevo, directly to the right. Whenever there's an update to any of our reports it will show up there. You can also simply type timba.com/reports/la into any browser for the latest Cuban events in SoCal.
The LA scene is really picking up, with Charanga Habanera, Van Van, Rumbanquete, and others scheduled in the next couple months.
Our goal is to eventually have a section like this for every city, so it's a great step forward to finally have Los Angeles covered.

Features vocal performances from Rosendo & Andy Marcos of Monte de Sión
Disclaimer : TIMBA.com does not endorse any religious views whatsoever, we are only reporting what Mr. Díaz has himself narrated in this video.
In this controversial 8 minute video narrated by Rosendo "El Gallo" Díaz himself, this ex-Manolito y su Trabuco & Orquesta Revé lead vocalist describes the loss of his voice, all the unsuccesful treatments performed by IFA Yoruba priests that followed, and his full recuperation triggered by his new religious beliefs.

El Gallo is also in the news with a new release by Proyecto Sonidos de Júbilo -a Timba and Son collective. Rosendo, along with vocalist Andy Marcos of Monte de Sión, deliver very powerful vocal performances on this new album. Led by trumpeter David Eduardo Ríos, Sonidos de Júbilo is a unique musical project that unites the forces of sacred music and contemporary Cuban dance music (Timba). Sonidos de Júbilo has incorporated traditional Spanish Baptist hymns and orchestrated them with a modern big band tropical sound. Along with Rosendo and Andy, the album features performances by Cuban musicians Alberto Salas (piano) and Yuri Pérez (saxophone). This digital release also includes two (2) Rosendo "El Gallo" Díaz music videos. Total playing time = 36:16 mm:ss.
