Good day dear readers and blog followers!<\/p>\n

Today I gladly present you one of the most interesting compositions I’ve recently heard, belonging to a Cuba \\ Peruvian orquesta called Bun Bun Mezcla’o, that plays Timba (and some salsa from time to time) mostly in Lima, the capital of Peru, also nicknamed “the Timba capital outside Cuba”, and IMHO, quite rightfully so!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The band is led and arranged by Leo Herrera, a talented Cuban pianist who during the last few years has been involved in many major projects in Lima, including being the musical director of Orquesta Mayimbe<\/a> for some time during their early years, and playing piano for Los Conquistadores de la Salsa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The band’s name describes their style quite well – a mix (mezcla) of various styles of Cuban music and a great variety of musical instruments, as customary in Timba music…
\nFor example, this song is not only a Son Montuno at its base, but also has parts that are Guaguanco, Bata, Son and even a bit of Cha Cha Cha, all mixed with a Charanga sound, full of flutes, together with great bateria (drum kit) improvisations and solos.
\nQuite a mix indeed!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The song presented today,\u00a0Eso Que Yo a Ti Te Daba, is from the band’s 2nd album, Pa’ La Gente Mia.<\/p>\n

Disfruten!<\/p>\n
