Los Pinguos plus Gonzalo Bergara at CC City Hall-Free
Thursday, July 22, 2010| < Previous Event | Back to Calendar | Next Event > |
Direct from their native Buenos Aires comes Los Pinguos (a derivative of "penguins") with a mixture of Latin rhythms, salsa, flamenco, reggae, rumba, Argentine rock, and sambas, performed with Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres, Peruvian cajon (box-drum) and harmonizing vocals. Dubbed by one of their fans as the "South American Beatles," people have referred to them as a hot Argentine folk groove band. Since winning the "Next Big Star" talent competition hosted by Ed McMahon they have developed into one of LA's hottest groups with a following that crosses most boundaries.
Plus . . .
Touring worldwide since 2000 the Bergara Quartet fuses elements of
music from his native Buenos Aires with traditional jazz and the music of Django Reinhardt.
Selected as the Best Jazz Group in Los Angeles by Los Angeles Magazine they have received
glowing reviews (Editors Pick in Guitar Player Magazine) for the CD Portea Soledad. Featuring
stellar playing on hot guitar, sax and clarinet, and upright bass
