Experience the
Afro-Cuban-Soul-Jazz of
Oriente!
An
explosive celebration of melody, rhythm and soul, ORIENTE
was formed in the
‘90s by Cuban guitarist and
composer Eddy
Balzola. They debuted at New Orleans’ premier jazz club,
Snug
Harbor, to an audience accustomed to very funky,
progressive music and
Oriente's hard-driving yet melodic
Afro-Cuban roots innovations hit the spot.
That raw and
organic music scene was an inspiration and continues to
influence
the band’s soulful sound & style, distinguishing
ORIENTE from any other
Latin Jazz group.
The band’s 5 th recording, “Soul En Clave”, was just released
with much critical response. The six selections are a mix of
original compositions and dedications, including the stand-out,
4-part suite titled “ECHOES OF TRANE TRACKS”. The cut
pays homage to Coltrane by opening with a chanting
Afro-Cuban guaguanco, followed by his brilliant and beautiful
composition Naima, flowing into Balzola’s powerful spoken-
word poem, and ending with an Equinox finale.
Meet the Band:
Eddy Balzola | Bandleader, Guitar/Vocals
Dony Felix | Bass
Yoel Del Sol | Percussion
Rey Monroig | Drums
Stuart King | Trumpet
