New School:



salsa revolution now called Toño Barrio. Rhythm and rock flavor in a package that aims to like both the most demanding new salsómanos.

Cali back to occupy its rightful place in the field of salsa. Toño Barrio, a group that fuses the classic elements of the genre with rock and wind instruments, has managed to invade the sounds of the Valley, making the genre par excellence back, displacing others such as reggaeton or tropipop.

Aware of musical change in Cali, where the loudest rockers looking to open the market in Bogota and salseros bands move as support of international artists, Toño Barrio raised his project back to basics: the neighborhood, the street, stories and context in which most young people move where the problems and the fun go hand, creating a product raizal but much projection.

It is this mixture of urban and lyrics are, which has made Toño like foam and rise as both juveniles and traditional audiences, fit perfectly with posters of different trends and achieve national projection. Dummy, their first single, was chosen as one of the songs from the soundtrack of dog eat dog and gave them the opening to other markets, such as that of Bogotá, where the band managed to make very good impressions and project even more sound.
So the group is clear: should open musically many strengthening the local public, creating an opening of genres but with emphasis on the micro. So expect to reach the European and Asian markets, where the sauce is strong and where this group wants to rule.

THE CALL OF THE SALSA: Sergio Mejía Rocca the orchestra's 33

By Laura Angélica Vásquez
Practitioner Javeriana University

why someone in Canada, where there are better opportunities to excel in the field of art, decided to go back and set right in Bogotá, a salsa? Part of the answer can be heard in the chorus of screw Guillo, a song that criticizes the Latin migration to the United States and Canada. The other part is, Sergio Mejía, director of the orchestra's 33, he returned thanks to his brother James was playing with other rockers who have turned their ears to the folklore, here was the Latin stomping.

started with the idea of \u200b\u200bforming a tropical music group with which they could go and deliver their work. The method was to visualize the goal and then write a project to achieve. First he had to get musicians and then find something to live while the orchestra was coupled: at first created several groups to experiment with jazz, reggae, salsa and folklore, but eventually stayed with the last two, as were the gained more strength, one was called The Polyphonic and the other 33. And to live made his home a ensayadero, which now runs the office of the orchestra, because when he had opted to choose the sauce.

After assembly a year in which many people entered and left the project in 2003 finally consolidated the 33. And it was not easy attach such slop of musicians: David Cantillo, "Malpelo" (voice), carrying the flavor of the sea, represented in the vallenato and folklore, to Juan David Fernández, "Palo" (drum) and Jose Miguel Vega, "El Profe" (bass trombone), like the metal, to Felipe Cárdenas (saxophone) and Roland Nieto (trumpet), ska and funk, to Vladimir Romero (trombone), classical music to Diego Sanchez (bongos), Guillermo Celis (vocals), Sergio Mejia (bass / address) and Santiago Mejia (piano / production visual), rock and jazz, and Paul Martinez (vocals) and Cipriano Rojas 'Ciro' (conga), guarantees the experience of a lifetime playing salsa.

Sergio and his group began to knock on doors of record companies, but found no support. Then James, who had studied a few semesters of graphic design and know the importance of branding for a company, to create a logo and so on, convinced his colleagues to start doing the same as a record but on their own. From the beginning we have people who supported the project: some people were in charge of audiovisual requested in Europe for outreach, aimed at achieving recruitment group, sometimes the website, media, logistics. Many did it for passion, not because it was a job, and thanks to the efforts of the team was formed, the band could show up and grow.

pocket removed from the first album, The 33-containing hits such as panther mambo, La 33, Qué rico boogaloo, Soledad and Drop the bongo-and sent a few copies to Europe. Beyond the hit songs and the DJ began to pass them from hand to hand and play them in nightclubs. Then programmed in the stations, where they reached the top ten issues and people started to upload to the network. Because of this they were called to play in the Old Continent and the cradle grunge, USA. There

did reach the record, but it's 33, he realized he could only with the business and so far has remained independent, group members take decisions independently about how to produce their albums, sell, promote , and over all the business, such as recruitment of concerts, digital sales ... In Europe, by distance, have a manager who helps to coordinate everything, but they keep running the show.

The 33 has grown slowly, and its members are convinced that this process has given them a solidity that can somehow guarantee permanence, although they know that this is elusive and must continue working hard and making quality music that lasts. That's the goal. Last year they released their second album, Gozalo, and in April this year released the video Bye-Bye, one of the songs, played by actors Maria Cecilia Sanchez and Pedro Falla. While

Cali, the capital of salsa is full of pop, vallenato and electronic music, Bogotá illuminates the scene of salsa in Colombia with the band that won two awards Our Earth in the categories of Best Performance and Best Tropical Tropical Group. The 33 is an orchestra of "salsa" with urban sounds, but sometimes, by the experiences and musical experiences of its members, other rhythms may sound and looks like it has elements of other genres, it intends to make gravy.

For Sergio, music is a ritual that allows you to relive moments from the past, connect with certain moods, and he does a worship life that clings to it, it immortalizes. He composed some songs, generates structures from which all group members contribute their ideas, and make final arrangements of items in short, is who defines the final sound of the orchestra.

The 33 as a tribe, watch your step, every sound indication, and the consummation of the ritual are the concerts, a product of the connection between the orchestra and the public. These musicians have lived through moments that once seemed only a dream, like opening presentations of Willie Colón and Los Van Van. But the horizon is even broader: they will soon be playing in New York and shall offer to market a documentary DVD of the band in which, in the words of Sergio, showing where it comes from the band.

LIFE MUSIC enjoyed
Sergio, what is the projection of the 33?
The first is to travel the world and expand their music, give a message of happiness that allows people to be quiet for a moment, enjoyed life. And my goal is to be happy with what I do, feel full, poderles bring something to the people and society with my music.

You are going on tour in Europe and Japan in June and August, which has scheduled 28 concerts. "The orchestra live gig or sale of your music?

live musicians from the concerts, everyone. The sale of our music gives us to consolidate enterprise-class orchestra in order to continue releasing albums and materials needed: videos, some for sale and others for business (you can see the band anywhere in the world and hire ), upgrading the website, designing posters for concerts and create all the graphics.

There are many people working for The 33. How is the process of starting to call people?

From the beginning we have people who we have worked, which have contributed to the orchestra. Now everyone wants to work with us, but you prefer to continue with the people who supported him and helped him to emerge. If the best designer in the world would like to work with me, I would say that: "At that time you were not and there is a very good designer who is with me since I started, who believed in me and supported me without requiring me to pay , then paid him and now it is working with us. "

You say that to survive we must have a clear plan. What is that of the 33?
is planning: what do I want? I have a band. What do I do? I travel around the world. How do I travel around the world? I have to work for the network, a record for him in the broadcast schedule so let me know, if I played on the radio, I have to start knocking on doors long before to see when I open them. What is my goal? I want to be a musician, I travel around the world, I live music. How do I succeed? Drawing a plan to achieve it.

fusion is much talk today. For you, what is fusion? Define
fusion is very difficult because most genres are a mixture of many things. Colombia has returned to the roots by the pipers, principally with the musicians of the Pacific, which are much forgotten, and new bands whose proposals shows the influence of these musicians, who even invited to record. Colombia is facing traditional musicians and is trying to highlight their work.
