Orishas.Kubanischer Hip Hop aus Paris.
Die neue Generation der lateinamerikanischen Musik. Orishas hat es geschafft, traditionelle kubanische Musik mit zeitgenössischem Hip Hop zu vermengen, um daraus eine, in dieser Art noch nie dagewesene, explosive Ausdrucksform entstehen zu lassen.
Die Kombination von Hip Hop Beats mit Latino-Perkussion, von kräftigen Bläsersätzen mit
Platten-Gescratche, machen die vier Kubaner zu den vielversprechendsten Talenten ihrer Heimatinsel Cuba.

ANDREA CANTA
This act is yet unsigned !
Andrea Canta is touring spring 2000 in Spain and Mallorca.
Omar's second solo piano CD, entitled "Inside", is released in the U.S. on September 14, 1999 and in Europe on October 1, 1999.
Part three of Omar's "Roots Trilogy" ("Free Roots", "Spirit Of The Roots"), entitled "Thirsty Roots", will be released in 2000.
Omar's new CD "Bembon" was recorded and mixed in Quito, Ecuador during
the summer of 1999. It features musical themes from the Esmeraldas
region of Ecuador, the Lucumi culture of Cuba, and from Afro - American
R&B and hip-hop forms. For the first time, Omar uses a classical string
quartet to unite these elements. "Bembon" features contributions from
Cuban percussion masters Orestes Vilato and Pancho Quinto, and from
Ecuador's Papa Roncon. Also featured from Omar's core quintet are
drummer Elliot Kavee, bassist Geoff Brennan, saxophonist Sheldon Brown,
and the spoken word artistry of Will Power.
Omar will return to the San Francisco area in May to celebrate the
release of "Bembon" with three Record Release Parties:
