Review of Performance at Tempo Latino
"The Latin Giants causes the public to explode at Tempo Latino"
The show put on by the Latin Giants under the direction of Jose Madera last night was the best in the 15 years of the Tempo Latino Festival. With seventeen of the best known and experienced musicians and legends of best that Latin Music has to offer they played in the plaza bull ring at Vic Fezensac and enchanted the crowd with their music; the Mambo. They demonstrated that despite all of the advances and fusions that have been done to Latin music over the years they preserve that real original big band mambo sound intact. It's the best Latin Big Band ever to play at Tempo Latino and they didnt just play any mambo; they played mambo-jazz cha cha cha, son, guajira and guaguanco. They played Salsa and took complete advantage of the talents of their singer Frankie Vazquez one of the greatest salsa singers and soneros in the world today.
