Our debut CD was produced by NY salsa institution Andy Gonzalez (Libre, Fort Apache, Tito Puente, etc...) and features Cuban vocalist David Oquendo (director of grammy nominated group Raices Habaneras, worked w/Compay Segundo, etc.). Quimbombó is dedicated to creatively interpreting the Cuban són (the contagious dance music championed by Buena Vista Social Club that is the main ingredient in salsa) by maintaining strong elements of improvisation and spontaneity in its sound. Quimbombó (pronounced keem-bohm-BO) is the title of a classic Cuban són popularized by Conjunto ChappotÃn in the 1950's; a word of Congolese origin, it means "okra" in Spanish. April 2004 Review on Descarga.com: Editor's Pick: The Cuban son spirit is alive and well and nourished by Quimbombó, the band founded in 1995 by bongocero Nick Herman. With interpretations of Cuban classics ("Hijo Del Siboney," "Quimbombó") plus a few original tracks including the montuno-blues "Sluggo," Quimbombó is a testament to the timeless beauty, drive and sheer pleasure of the son. Produced by bassist Andy Gonzalez (Conjunto Libre, Fort Apache Band etc.), who also contributes to several of the tracks here. Excellent vocals by David Oquendo. Highly recommended.
