Tiempo Libre
“Simply
put, the orchestra’s modern take on Afro-Cuban roots blended with Latin jazz is
second to none.” Miami
New Times
The seven
members of Tiempo Libre met as teenagers at one of Cuba ’s premier conservatories,
where they mastered the critical skills necessary to play classic Cuban music.
During a time in Cuba
when listening to American music was forbidden, the boys crowded around a
homemade radio and listened to the beats of Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, and
Earth, Wind, and Fire. After emigrating to the United States , the men formed
Tiempo Libre, a band that celebrates the best of Latin and American music.
Since their inception, they have garnered three Grammy nominations, the first
for their debut album Bach in Havana ,
which melds classical tunes by Johann Sebasian Bach with the soul-stirring
rhythms of salsa, merengue, and cha-cha. The group has since been nominated for
two more Grammy awards, and has toured and performed extensively, including a
performance on the ABC television hit Dancing with the Stars. Tiempo Libre is
the picture of musical innovation, and is one of the hottest young bands in
both Latin and contemporary American music today.
