notes

In the neon jungle of Miami, in dusky bars and on moonlit beaches, Suénalo Sound System has the natives dancing. The rhythms, a riotous intersection of Afro-Cuban, Latin, R&B and hip hop, come courtesy of bassist Carlos Guzmán and percussionists Luis Gonzalez and Alan Ramos, effortlessly fusing the sounds of distant continents into their own distinctive premium blend. The horn section, saxophonist Juan Turros and trombonist Chad Bernstein, bring the funk, cascades of fire and brimstone rippling through the gyrating crowds, and guitarists Phil Maranges and Gerard Glecer bring the blues, distorted wails and wah-wah injecting the mix with barroom soul and Hendrix’s voodoo spirit. Keyboardist Tony Laurencio lends his fingers and voice to the fray, harmonizing with Amin de Jesus and El Chino who spit bilingual rhymes and sing sweet, heartfelt melodies. Suénalo is a ten-piece, but its music is so powerful and intense you’d swear there was an entire village onstage.

Formed in 2002 after a series of jam sessions in Little Havana’s Monkey Village, a communal home of musicians and artists, Suénalo has undergone a number of personnel changes but its unique musical essence has remained intact, a mélange of Western, Latin, and Pan-African styles that has won the band legions of loyal fans and Best Local Latin Rock Band honors from the Miami New Times. Suénalo has performed at the Latin Funk Festival in Miami and NYC, Carnaval on the Mile, Fete de la Musique, the Calle Ocho Festival, and the 2006 Langerado Music Festival, headlined by Ben Harper, the Black Crowes, the Flaming Lips, and Wilco. In addition, they’ve shared the stage with Afrobeat heavyweights Antibalas, the Latin Grammy winning Bacilos, and Latin Grammy nominated acts Bosacucanova, Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians and Locos Por Juana.

  • I love this CD!
    author: Margy Roe

    I saw this band for the first time here in New Smyrna. It was nothing like any of the other bands that roll through here. I fell in love with their music right away. I bought the album and listen to it all day long at work. Thank you for bringing new and exciting music to our small little town. You all rock!!!

  • awesome cd!

    I love it! Anyone who is in there right mind will order this CD. It is awesome X 10. Thanks so much to the Suenalo for making such awesome music.

  • This band is SIZZLES!
    author: Jeannie

    This band is FANTASTIC: dynamic, soulful, funky, and smooooooth. Damn! CHECK THESE GUYS OUT if you haven't already. And if you have, but you don't yet have this new CD, definitely acquire it... ASAP. Suenalo creates some of the sweetest grooves/rhythms I've heard in a very long time (the '70s funk-soul sweetness they've got running through everything is addictive). Check'em out. These musicians get it.

  • No Fakin' the Funk Here!!!
    author: DJ GRASS

    If you are looking for some flavor with a scoop of Funk and maybe a side of Miami, then this is the joint for you. Suenalo's music will keep you grooving with a unique Miami Vibe like no other. Its just Flavor on top of Flavor!!! Come On Kid, Can You Feel The Funk? Nothing Can Save Ya....Suenalo has arrived. DJ GRASS...Westchester

  • Best mix of Cuban-Afro, Latin Jam
    author: Eduardo

    This is the best CD of this kind that I have ever heard. I can not stop playing it over & over, & Tiki Bar mucho mejor. I can't wait to go to Florida and see the group live.

  • As good as I remember!
    author: Emma, UK

    The album is brilliant! It's got such an energetic beat, really uplifting and feel good, played by extremely talented musicians. Playing it to all our friends and family to drum up some support for them in the UK.

  • the only thing better is a live show!!
    author: suenalo groupie

    this cd gives you a taste of south florida, which, by extension, gives you a taste of a whole world of influences. the title track, Suenalo, has only sounded better at 2am on the dance floor. and the cd is mixed to suit a party, a long drive, or a lazy day sitting around. check it out!!!

  • Awesome!
    author: Carl Allen

    Reminds me of the great Afro-Cuban band Irakere during their hey-day in the 70's. Suenalo mixes just about every genre of music into their sound...and they do it well. This band is going to be huge as soon as the world finds out about them. Great job boys!

  • Suenalo is a fresh brand spanking new miami sound
    author: john de la cruz

    Practically every song is a winner. Suenalo is a great mix of in-your-face-Funk with nice hot dripping helpings of hip-hop, jazz, and of course Latin beats. Suenalo is a unique sound all its own. You have to hear it to believe it! The bass and the horns are an awesome blend. If you've been jonesing for new music this is the BOMB!!!!!

  • Oh My God!
    author: Mike B.

    I just got it in the mail today. This album is so sick! Some of the best music I've heard in a while. What are the odds that 10 equally fantastic musicians would be in the same band? You really need to buy this CD!
