Charanga Soleil
| CHARANGA
SOLEIL brings together three
of the world's greatest dance genres: Cuban salsa, Congolese
rumba-soukous, and Haitian compas. In addition to the standard charanga
instrumentation (flute, violin, piano, bass, conga, vocals and chorus),
Charanga Soleil has included the 21-string West African kora, the
Haitian rara drum and a full drum set. This variation gives the band a
unique signature while creating room for the musicians to explore such
diverse rhythms as son montuno, danzón, rumba, changüí, beguine,
bolero, zouk, merengue, Haitian racine (roots) and more.
