Encuentro NYC presents: "Música de Banda, from the streets of Colombia to the stage" March 24, 2012

With:

Jonathan Gómez y su Papayera la Original
Thanks to his versatility, Jonathan Gómez has grown rapidly in the musical scene of the Big Apple. He has participated in multiple musical projects, specially playing salsa and Colombian Folk music. While living in New York he has had the opportunity to play with big music personalities such as David Pabon, Mariano Civico, Gilberto Santarosa, Pablo Mayor, Samuel Torres, Harry Adorno, Anthony Carrillo, Ariacne Trujillo, John Benitez among others. He has participated in more than 5 musical productions of different music genres. Part of his aim is to share a little of his culture with other people, the reason why he formed La Papayera Original, which has been a part of different Colombian celebrations in the New York City area and beyond.
Pablo Mayor's Folklore Urbano Orchestra
Modern Colombian music is redefined in fresh, lively, provocative dimensions every time Pablo Mayor's Folklore Urbano Orchestra hits the stage. This powerhouse 12-member orchestra seamlessly fuses the danceable swing of traditional Colombian rhythms with the lush subtleties of contemporary jazz harmonies and unique arrangements. The ensemble is driven by a rhythm section deeply grounded in traditional Colombian music. Like a feisty chef, leader Pablo Mayor then adds explosive horns and soaring, colorful vocalists to produce a tasty, sultry, addictive blend!
