Fito
Reinoso's
'Comunicación' CD
produced by Laughing Tiger
Music
For over a decade, Fito Reinoso has made the Bay Area his
home and is the only Cuban born based sonero in the area performing
a variety of styles, from the most recent urban Havana grooves to
“timba” to the classic son and cha-cha-cha, all with a
voice reminiscent of the late and beloved legendary Cuban singer,
Beny Moré. His dynamic personality and showmanship has led
him to collaborate with some of the top musicians who reside in Cuba
and the United States.
Most recently, he has been in the studio recording his third album,
Communícacion, featuring veterans Sandy Pérez (former
principal soloist of AfroCuba de Matanzas), Carlos Caro (formerly
with Paulito F.G.) and Junior Terry (from the critically acclaimed
Los Terry Family), as well as showcasing young Bay Area talent including
Patricio Angulo (timbal), Erick Barbería (congas) Michael Lazarus
(bass), and Jason Moen (piano)..
Fito’s band, Ritmo y Armonía plays primarily original
music, composed by Fito and inspired by contemporary Cuban rhythms.
The orchestra plays more traditional Cuban genres such as son-montuno,
cha-cha-cha, and bolero but always with a sound that is authentic.
Fito Reinoso y su Ritmo y Armonía has performed at a number
of Bay Area renowned nightclubs and festivals such as Yoshi's, The
San Francisco Jazz Festival, The San Jose Jazz Festival, and is weekly
scheduled at all the hot salsa dancing spots such as The Ramp, Elbo
Room, Cigar Bar and Jelly's.
If you are looking for the scorching rhythms of Cuban new-wave,
Fito Reinoso y su Ritmo y Armonía is guaranteed to please.
