I’m a sucker for Latin jazz, especially the likes of Afro-Cuban and the sounds of the Charanga era. Perhaps that’s why I’ve found myself lost in the sounds of Bomba, a latin-jazz group based out of Toronto, Canada. The clean sounds of Cuban and improvisational jazz have been a real treat to my frazzled ears. Mellow, crisp instrumentals, lively vocals and violin, and on-the-spot Latin congas and percussion give their latest CD, Cuatro Caminos, a winning sound that will appeal to a variety of jazz lovers.
Bomba is led by percussionist Mario Allende and bassist Rubim de Toledo. This CD also includes drummer Raul Tabera, violinist Aldo Aguirre, and singer Luis Emilio Rios. What results is a phenomenal Latin group that has toured the world to great acclaim. Bomba has even been heating things up globally, having played in the UK, Italy, Cuba, and even South Korea’s top international drumming festivals, but I’ve no doubt they’re just getting warmed up. A musical force to keep your eye on!

I listened to the you tube video. Very nice and relaxing but not enough to make me want to go to sleep. I like how all of the different instruments blend so well together and give it a catchy beat. This is something I’d listen to so I’d love to win.
