12.09.14 : Orquesta Sonolux – Asi No

Good day my friends!

This week I am glad to present you a “Family orchestra” from Los Angeles, USA.
Why “family orchestra”? because this band was formed in 1955 by the Pulgar family (from Ecuador) in 1955.

The band has 12 members, and plays various rhythms and styles of music, most being Latin, but this is not exclusive (they also play Jazz, for example).
Today the band is run by some of the original members, but also some of their children, and performed all over the USA, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Canada.
The band also has their own recording company and studio.

Although not usually their style, the song “Asi No” sounded very “Timba influenced” to me, and IMO, managed to incorporate the feel of contemporary Cuban music quite well.

Disfruten!
