Folklore Urbano
A Cultural Affairs Committee Event
It's no exaggeration to say that Folklore Urbano has redefined modern Colombian music. This brilliant 12-piece ensemble harnesses the danceable swing of traditional Colombian folkloric rhythms while seducing the listener with the subtleties of jazz orchestration and harmony. The band's lineup cooks with two vocalists; a rhythm section comprised of some of New York City's finest exponents of traditional Colombian music; a stunning horn section of flute, trumpet, alto/soprano saxophone, baritone saxophone, and euphonium; as well as drum set, bass, and piano.
"…Folklore Urbano's 12 members perform material that is authentic and refreshing, due in no small part to Mayor's amazing way of synthesizing jazz with Colombian folkloric music, taking Latin music to an entirely new dimension" Vicky Sola, Latin Beat Magazine, Feb. 2006 issue.
