Just added: Live performances bring new appreciation of the Carpool. July 4th in Santa Clarita, California filled the Newhall Park with folks who bought CD's , getting autographs, from Gloria, richie Gajate-Garcia and Frank Garcia. Richie showed the crowd why he is amongst the top ten percussionists in the "world"!!! A timbale solo to remember which will soon be in our hands on DVD since Comcast videotaped the whole concert in a two static one movable three camera shoot. Meanwhile, on www.myspace.com/lacarpool you can 1) get a couple ringtones off our bio, visit our page on garageband.com and back at myspece.com you can see a live video of "Havana Taxi" performed at the balboa Bay club and can watch it at our pleasure. If you like it, leave some comments. Soon we will have July 4th video and hopefully some verizon ringtones as soon as we hopefully are added to the vcast store. Our new CD "L.A. Loco" is nearing completion so look for more of that later. We've also published an itunes playlist "salsa sounds" that feature some great Latin/Salsa music look for that for an interesting listen. We're sorry that we're sold out of "When worlds Collide" but it is available on all the Baby download sites. We also had some music from "Salsa Inferno" on VH1 short feature "My coolest Years" So there much more to come and we're particularly proud of our forthcoming Latin version of Hotel California.... this is one that will be vocal and an instrumental version. We know you'll like this for sure. Come back for more soon cuz things are moving fast.

Salsa and Pop for your film, show or live performance.

Welcome to our Indie World of Salsa/Pop Music. As unique as anything you have ever heard. All music is live and original. The L.A. Carpool has been credited with over "one million hits! On the Internet"

We have been featured in the salsa night club scene on the CBS show "First Monday" where the song "Salsa Inferno" was played. We have performed live on Latv Live on Cable show for KJLA which broadcasts to approximately 10 million bi-lingual households. (video of our appearance is available).

And heard heard in the major motion picture "Narc" starring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric, the song "Mi Guajira" was especially redone at the music supervisors request to have a male voice singing the song in Spanish. Please, it's playing in the bacground as Patric and Liotta team us as partners in a café so please watch for for it. I was especially proud to see the name of the group and our names in the credits at the end.

What makes this band accessible and different is the layered "wall of sound" that incorporates a full Latin rhythm section of the best Los Angeles Salsa musicians, playing typical mambo, son, cha's and all other popular musical idioms enjoyed by Salsa dancers throughout the World. On top of that, we layer the song with an intelligent lyric and Pop sensibility. Guitar is played by former Geffen Records Artist Frank Garcia who also writes and produces the melody lines in conjuntion with producer/creator Jack Gold. The finishing touches are come with the rhythmic background vocals that are sung in Spanish. World famous percussionist Richie Gajate-Garcia adds to the rhythmic "Tropical" sounds and the singer Gloria T (Half Colombian and half Irish) sounds sweet, hot and sexy in both English and Spanish.

Give the Carpool a ride for authentic tropical sounds and popular familiar and contemporary music. 70 minutes and 15 songs make this one of the hottest buys available in the music world. Take us for a ride in your car and you'll never be the same again. Available for sale at cdbaby.com/cd/lacarpool2 now on iTunes and other download sites. (NEW!)
