Bamboleo (band)

Last updated

Bamboleo is a Havana-based Cuban salsa and timba band formed in 1995, and emblematic of the "timba brava" generation of Cuban bands in the 90s. [1] Their albums also include boleros and reggaeton.

The group was founded by Lázaro Valdés, a keyboard player, [2] and initially fronted by two female singers, with a distinctive female "voice" and perspective in the lyrics. [3] This was reflected on the first album cover, Te Gusto O Te Caigo Bien? (1996) which featured prominently the singing duo Haila Mompié and Vannia Borges, but Haila Mompié left the band after the first album[ citation needed ] and Valdés contracted various other singers. Overall the feminine voice element of the band was later pulled back, with Valdes explaining in interview "That was important until the public got used to the sound of our music. The singers are the visual element, but you really have to get people accustomed to your particular sound." [4]

Bamboleo, formed in 1995, has become one of the primary proponents of timba brava, a timba with no holds barred, one that tries to go where no salsero has gone before."

The singers are the visual element, but you really have to get people accustomed to your particular sound. The force of the group is in themusic".... the music executives wanted Bamboleo to play undemanding “salsa romántica,” maybe, or better yet something along the lines of what Carlos Santana ... At a stand still, Bamboleo was doing surpassingly well by Cuban standards — and just fairly well by world standards.
