Chalo y su Aché

Chalo y su Ache

Chalo y su Aché is a hard-driving timba band with great swing, lots of bloques and gear changes pure timba dura - no reguetón, no salsa romántica, no chachachá, no Latin jazz, no "salsita", no R&B torch songs ... just throbbing, pounding, heart-stopping timba. The night that I saw them in Oakland, after God knows how many nights in a row of sitting in front of my computer reverse engineering the "timba gears" of Revé, Issac, et al, it was a revelation to sit by the side of the stage and watch it happen in front of my eyes as Chalo threw out hand signal after hand signal, driving his world class rhythm section like a Lamborghini. They made me feel like I was back at La Tropical or La Cecilia. More like this please!
